Beautiful Saturday
Photo

You’ve heard that before, (a picture is worth a thousand words), and probably thought is it? And in some cases yes. Clearly. I could describe the view of the lake from one of our favourite parks to you using perfect descriptive words. Maybe I wouldn’t use 1000, but here’s the point. No matter how many words I use you cannot get the feeling of the park as well as you can from this photo.
For me part of being a visual artist is the ability to describe something in a way that words may not be capable of doing. Not to deny the importance of words, and the beauty of wonderfully written books. I was talking to a fellow today about his fiancée's work on a novel. I am so impressed by authors who write the amazing books I love to read. Their work is much more complicated, and deeper than what I will create.
For tonight, please enjoy this beautiful view that we saw last Saturday at a park on the west end of Toronto.
Have a loving your life day.

Your photo is so beautifully composed. And look at that deep blue of the water! Xox
Thank you Flora,
A total fluke. I was just taking pictures on my walk. Of course in real life the water is much more vivid.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO Barbara
