Taking a Break

Bless those who take accessibility into account when planning areas of recreation.

Strategically placed benches offer slow moving vehicles like me a chance to idle away a morning or afternoon, in the company of my cherished feathers friends.

    They definitely invite a response–contemplation, photos, poetry… 🙂
