Blue Angel Watchers

 

8/2/26 Maple Leaf Park

I enjoy going to Maple Leaf Park for the Blue Angels’ annual Seafair show, but not to watch the planes. Greg and I always enjoyed doing it together: He went for the planes while I went to sketch the viewers.

Things we used to do together still bring me joy, but now they’re laced with sadness. That seems to be my definition of grief.

My snack while I waited for the watchers.

  1. I think your definition of grief is spot on. Glad you have such a wonderful sketching community! I continue to see your Secondary palette in so many places, just saw a wildflower meadow with those exact colors, gorgeous!

    1. Wow, it's cool that you are seeing the secondary triad palette in your environment! I don't see it much in summer, but I see it everywhere in the fall!

  2. After my husband died, there were places that took me a very long time to be able to go back to or visit while others were easier and almost welcome in order to touch special memories. I decided not to rush it, but let my heart tell me when I was ready for those memories of the things we did, the places we went. To each his or her own when it comes to grief.

    1. Yes, absolutely. I have several places that I will have to wait a long time before I can visit again. But I hope to eventually, because I'm hoping they will offer a different level of healing.

    2. They will - at least in my experience. Hugs . . .
