The park was sure crowded today! I was feeling a little lazy after that good meal, so decided to take advantage of the shady tree I sat under and just get lost in the sights around me. One of the first things that caught my eye was a group of people performing music a little ways from where I was seated. They looked young, early 20's maybe, and I swear to Merlin that they looked as if they had ripped straight from a 1960 scrapbook. Not to label, but they decidedly looked 'of the era`, complete with vintage clothes and hairstyles. But the music they played was hauntingly beautiful, a folk song that touched your very soul. Nearby was a mime performing their own craft (silently of course). Mimes always amaze me because it defies the laws of physics that someone can hold that still. I still wonder if he wasn't a wizard that had cast a charm on himself! Hmmm.....
Probably the cutest thing I saw, though, was a little boy playing with a toy boat in the pond. Don't worry, his parents were nearby, so it was perfectly safe. He looked so happy, and his laugh was infectious. I couldn't help but smile as I watched him. All in all, it was a good day.
