It turns out that the power in half my apartment went out again the other day. My landlord came this morning around 11:30am to fix it, and I took off so that I wouldn’t be in the way.

I grabbed a couple books and headed down to the Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens, since it is relatively close and I hadn’t been there before. I found a bench nestled among some nice green foliage and read for a bit. I also watched couples walk hand in hand, people walking their dogs, and amateur photographers capturing some of the pretty flowers and plants.

I walked around a bit and stood near the gazebo where the giant coy and little turtles swim around a large pond. Little kids looked on excitedly, and people on the grass across the way peacefully ate sandwiches.

It’s a nice little place, and a good location to relax and read in the sunshine. I saw a couple other people with the same idea, although perhaps not with the same motivation. All in all, it was a great way to kill time while I couldn’t be in my apartment—I spent over 2 1/2 hours there. I did even take a few pictures, before my camera battery died. I guess I will have to go back with a full battery and see what else I can take pictures of.

Maybe tomorrow, if the weather stays nice….
