Rainy Day in Brussels

We're talking about a return trip to Belgium; my family is mainly from the Bruges area and my husband hasn't seen anything outside Brussels so I think a trip to the greater Flemish region would be great....

In the Park

A little "pastel" from the photoshop :) I liked the aspect of the shot, it actually reminds me of the Avondale parkland. We spent many a happy sunday in Avondale as a child, just as my mother and her brothers spent in Le Bois in Brussells. I really enjoyed being where they had been, and that it reminded me of being young, seemed very auspicious!

In the Forest

The forest park that is the remnant of the great forests that once surrounded the city; we went for a walk from the university side, in the near continuous drizzle on Saturday - enjoying the green, lush colours. Definitely one for the "Urban Beauty" category. It's a wonderful park, unfortunately ungoing a fair bit of work on pathways etc at the moment but still an oasis as long as the weather isn't good. Once the temperatures soar the citizens come out in droves to enjoy the forest.

Spring in New York

City Park

I like the texture of this one, the dappling of leaves both on tree and ground and the subtle variation of shades.
