Topiary Couple

Eden Park, Black and White
Shocking confession: Sometimes I need to flee from words. Oh, nothing permanent or long-term. It’s just that my creativity likes green things. She says it helps her think and form ideas. Fancy that!

The (supposedly haunted) Spring House Gazebo at Eden Park, where famed bootlegger George Remus brazenly murdered his wife, Imogene, in 1927.

This is a fantastic place to read a good book.

Topiary Park. Columbus.
What a cozy place to hunker down with a book! One needs only to bring a blanket, some reading material, and an open imagination.

Ault Park
Reading aloud to the leaves and branches, whilst optional, is highly encouraged. Words are best, after all, when they are shared.

Pretty flowers
