A Walk In The Park- A Secret Place

My Challenge piece is done as an embellishment for the back of a jacket I have. It has a story that is real.

Long ago a little girl had a sad life. She found serenity in a place that only she knew about.  She discovered it quite by accident.

She found a path that lead to a lovely park. The path followed beside a little creek that meandered through the park.  There were lovely hills filled with tall grasses and wild flowers that swayed gently in the breeze. She found a tree that was perfect to sit under while she read whatever book she was engrossed in at the time. She would either sit under it in the grass enjoying the sweet scent of the grass mingled with flowers.  Sometimes she would sit on the rocks that were piled like a little stool.  There were birds.  ALWAYS there were big black Crows flying above.  Sometimes they landed near her to enjoy the bits of bread she would bring to share with them.  She loved to hear their caw-caw as they saw she had come to visit them.  There were frogs sitting in the grass by the creek.  They croaked their greeting to her and she always spoke back telling them how handsome they were.  There was a cat that must have lived somewhere in the park.  He would sneak a piece of bread but never came closer.  She silently asked him not to eat her Crows.

She visited the park all of her life.  It was her secret place, even now when she had a happy life.
