The little independent cafe, the one that exhibits a few of my photos, has re-opened. Just for takeout, mind you, but it's a step. We pre-ordered our favourite cheesy scones and also, of course, asked for coffees while we were at it.
It was nice to support a local business, but it will take me awhile to get used to the new look in places with all of the plexiglass. And I continue to mask within stores as safe as they might be.
It was a cloudy day with the threat of rain, so we were happy to once again indulge in our comestibles in the car.
As we sat there, I began to cast my eye over the adjacent park and decided to return with my camera. I managed to get some nice photos. To get as much of the trees as I wished, I had to also put up with getting too much rather blank sky, but these are the compromises that one makes. I do rather like the photos although the sky is a bit of a detraction. As you will see, the green is still pretty lush at this time of year.
I also took some verticals of the same trees, but I liked the horizontals better, so I shall just post them.
And a styled selfie to end the daily post, or what has become an almost daily post with an almost daily selfie in these times.

That first tree has so much personality!
You all look simply fabulous...very Hollywood.
A nice post that distracts us from the misery around us. Actually, it is very peaceful and calm in Hawaii, which is unbelievable.
I like the lush greenery, and your daily selfie. I am glad I found you a while back. Your posts always make me feel like I'm in the presence of a gentle old soul. :-)
The photos are beautiful. I especially love that first tree. And smile at your selfies and the good news about your take out cheesy scones and coffee.
Sue and you look TRES COOL! I'm glad you got back to (sort of) normal with cheesy scones and coffee. My local Sbux just opened up for drive through, so I've been there a couple times. I dislike drive through, but it's going to be that way until possibly September. Your photos are incredible! I love the green, the tree(s) and the way you've composed the picture. You have the eye that I lack!
That is the most brilliant green ever. Love it!
Oh, I just love that first tree! Such character!
Drive up and staying in the car is probably the safest way to support local restaurants anyways. ;)
The tree with the aged bark is wonderful.
You're having a lot of fun with selfies. I've started looking for these every day.
I love the idea of the take out cheesy scones and coffee, and sitting and eating/drinking them in the car sounds like so much fun. 5 stars and Thumbs-up on the selfie!
Nice to see you both out and about and enjoying your treats sans masks. I liked the framing if the far tree inside the closer one.
