Music in the park

Tuesday
It was a beautiful day today, with temperatures in the upper 70sF. Early afternoon I got out to enjoy it, walking to Pioneer Park. I had taken a few shots by the stream and a few shots of the swinging seats by the pond, when I noticed a young girl walk into the park, carrying what appeared to be a guitar case. Sure enough, she settled under a tree and got out her guitar and started playing and singing. Now, being on the quiet side, I'm not usually the sort of person to go up to people and ask if I can take their photo, but I just felt it would make a nice photo. So I plucked up courage and went over to her. She was quite happy for me to take her picture, and afterwards we had a short conversation. Her name is Kelly, and she plays in the worship band at her church, and is trying to get into playing in bars and restaurants or anywhere else she can play her music, while studying business. I thanked her and wished her luck, then set off back home. On my way back home I passed a guy out working in his yard and I got in a conversation with him too - so a very pleasant walk.
