Last fall I did an art installation for "One With Copper" on week 6 at this same location. This spring I went back as I most often do, as soon as I think the snow has cleared on the trail. The trail at Strathgartney Park still had snow but I had my camera and a few of my copper plates in my knapsack. It was a gorgeous beautiful warm spring day, and I had the time of my life walking around the park.
The park and trail are still closed so we parked on the side of the road and walked down. This is a view of the West River at Strathgartney. Prince Edward Island is small and maybe God took some extra time with his paint brush.
This is the entrance to the trail and I was so happy to see that my favourite log was still there, but different.
The log had broken, which just added interest for me to play with.
The trail still had a lot of snow still on it, so I got to work and played with an art installation for "One With Copper" week 32.
I used the log as my main interest point for photographing the copper plates.
The natural texture of the log is so beautiful and organic in contract with the copper plates.
I love the early spring sleepy look of the woods and the old blanket dried leaves on the ground.
I also love my family for being patient while I play and I love that they love being outdoors also.
I call this photo "Stretching to Wake Up"
When I am going through the photos for the blog, it is always difficult to choose images that show off the beautiful areas and the art installations. This image was chosen to really show the contrast of nature and the copper plates. I am still in love with this log as much as I was last fall.
Thank you for stopping by for another week with "One With Copper" documentation of a show in process that is all about "The Art of Playing".Strathgartney Park is a gorgeous unique piece of Heaven On PEI.
