Back then, we used to go to QE Park a fair bit. The adults would stroll leisurely through the park with its spring and summer blooms, while we cousins would swarm like bees. We would dart in and out of the huge hollow bronze sculptures (while banging on them), walk along the fountain wall, dipping our hands into the water and seeing if the coins were within reach. Sometimes we got dangerously close to all the wedding photo sessions taking place ....My favourite thing of all was watching the water striders in the numerous ponds around the park. They would gracefully oar themselves across the surface of the water, creating little dimples under their feet. They seemed so carefree, lazing around in the pond on a sunny day.
I always felt so peaceful watching them, and always with a smile.
