Mum and Dad have never been to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, so to avoid the thought of going sale shopping - my worst nightmare - but in order to get out we headed there for a walk and a look at the art.
I love the sculpture park as it has many of my favourite things.... trees, fields, water, art, coffee, cake and a good gift shop... so the sculpture park is bliss for me! Many of our friends and relatives have spoken to Mum and Dad about the park and all it holds so they have been keen to go for a while, but it's just so hard to fit in all the things they want to do each time they come to the UK.
It was really lovely to be walking in the park in the snow. My photos are different this time as this changes the way you look at the sculptures. David Nash's exhibition is still on, so the large tree sculptures that I had seen only a few months ago took on a whole different dimension today. The park is brilliant, the way that you can interact with the art and see it up close.
Through the park we headed down to the lake, some poor swans and their year old cygnets were trapped in the only bit of water on the lake. They had made some lovely foot prints.... someone had even gone out on the ice and drawn a smiley face - not sure if I would have trusted the ice.
Back up through the pastures, passing Henry Moores and a quick stop in the deer shelter sky space. Not a very impressive sky to look at through the viewing space - a bit cloudy, but nice all the same.
Up to the cafe for coffee and cake, and a surprisingly inexpensive visit to the shop! Well I can always go back.....
See lovely, lovely photos here...
Hope you are all coping over the Christmas period,
Love Iona x
