A Day of Smiles and Solitude

Day 21
It was a beautiful day to do leaf printing outside at Sugarland Visitors center. I had my pile of precut fabric ready to go, so with the help of Brad Free, I got set up outside. We printed at a table and examples of my work were on display behind me. I had so many interested kids that half way through my allotted time, I ran out of fabric. Brad came to the rescue with a ream of copier paper, so we switched to paper for our printing.

It was so fun to see the kids’ eyes when they pulled off the leaf and saw the resulting images. 

After I left the visitors center,
I decided to not fight any traffic today and stay in the park near my place. I found a trail across the road, and walked for almost two hours, and never saw a soul; but saw some huge beautiful trees, enormous ‘rooms, a great stream, and quiet solitude.

A nice contrast to the earlier throngs!
