Sunday in the Park

My husband and I had a great time on Sunday strolling around our favorite urban park. There was a nice autumn breeze and there was golden light filtering through the trees that lined the path along the park. We try to come here often and we always see a diverse group of people enjoying the park -- everything from people fishing along the edge that borders the river, to groups playing kickball or frisbee, to dog-walkers, to picnickers, to photographers, to people doing yoga! Today was no exception and it was a truly beautiful day for a visit.

I seem to be on a roll with getting my husband to take my OOTD pictures. Check out these nice pictures he snapped during our stroll:

Necklace: Anthropologie
Sweater Hoodie: Maurices
Tank: Belk
Belt: Anthropologie
Skirt: Old Navy
Socks that were peeking out but slid down out of sight: Target
Boots: Anthropologie








Below is one of my favorite quotes by Einstein that someone had written in chalk on the sidewalk amongst some drawings: "Imagination is more important than knowledge."



This is a beautiful statue perched above the fountain in the park. It's called "Winged Victory" and it was done in 1924 to memorialize the 1,200 soldiers from Florida who died in WWI. The statue is supposed to depict youth rising above "the mad maelstrom of earthly passions."



In the middle of the park is a large field where people often play different sports. The river is in the distance.



Beautiful palm, magnolia, and oak trees ring the park.



I hope everyone else had a nice weekend too!

    My husband and I prefer lazy weekends, where we sleep in, read the paper, and surf the net...hehee!
    we should follow your lead and take strolls in the park more often, although now that i have a blog, im going to force it on him, so he can take pics of me in my anthro outfits!
    Anyway, great outfit, and loved how you styled it with the brown belt over the cardi and brown boots. You look very comfortable and relaxed!

  4. Hi Debbie

    Your pictures look gorgeous not to mention your boots! I just have to say walking that park in the mid October is one of my favorite thing to do~~ In fact, I went the park myself with my hubby and enjoyed every bit of it. Oh Thanks for the info on Orange tee.
