Downtown Delights
~
springtime festivals
nature delights our senses
bursting with color
~
I took advantage of my day off to wander around downtown enjoying the signs of spring. The art features were a lovely complement to the colorful blossoms like in the photos below. Jason’s mural is full of color and joy with the flowers on the mural almost looking like part of the trees. And I was thrilled with the explosion of blossoms above the art deco tile walls. This outing was a delight for my senses with bountiful flowers, singing birds, and joyful people exploring the gardens. We were lined up in a queue (almost like an amusement park or museum!) to look at and photograph the bed full of red tulips beneath this lovely pear tree. Thank you Jason and all the local artists, gardeners, and appreciators of nature.
Enjoyed the post and photos…
