Section 34 and we are getting nearer to the end. I enjoyed today as, thanks to my lovely sister, I was alone. Don’t get me wrong I love Chloe more than anything and her spirit and positivity are infectious and inspiring but when she is with me in the park, my focus is always on her and not on my project and I realise how much I have enjoyed the time by myself just being an observer in the park rather than a participant which is what I need to be when Chloe is there. So today I could just be the odd lady in the park with her camera. I honestly don’t know if anything I have done here is of interest to anyone but I have learned so much and I believe I have documented a park at an unusual time just after the pandemic. Looking at people’s behaviour and a community joined by a park and I can definitely feel a book is there somewhere too.
The park was sunny and relaxed today, with people sitting and strolling. No tennis players today but a toddler and her mother trot round the tennis courts. There are 7 dogs and 6 walkers including a regular hairy dog who is walked by the vets on the corner so maybe he is in recovery. I felt even more alone today as because I was on the courts, which are encased by cage and bushes, I wasn’t really part of anything happening in the park. It was all a little distanced. Nice though.
Today, again because I was in the tennis courts, there was not too much to see and because there is not seating then there is little rubbish. Anyway here it is: no trees, tennis court, tarmac, grass, bushes including nettles, brambles and lots of leaves and flowers and insects, butterfly, fly, cage, 12 pieces of litter, 1 feather, some berries. No dog walkers came into my area.
