Idyllic afternoon

Went out to walk around and get some sun. Found the river nearby and it was nice, many small groups out walking about. I think it must be a holiday here. Eventually went "inland" through a university campus, and there were parrots in the trees! After some noodles, walked into the botanical gardens. It was so nice there! Myriad pathways surrounded by trees and plants, occasionally open grassy areas, birds in the trees. In the grassy areas especially the large park next to the gardens, were many groups of friends, and big family gatherings, and couples enjoying their time together. Blue sky, warm air, scents of soil, plantlife, and sometimes flowers. Children playing. Was just one of those afternoons that seemed like it was a perfect world. Unfortunately, felt pretty lonely too. Though part of that was just the few dozen hours since sleeping.
