Spring has undeniably arrived, with many families heading to their local parks for fun. It's a heartwarming and idyllic scene reminiscent of many classic Kodak Moments. Impressionists have often taken inspiration from the theme of family picnics during springtime. However, nowadays, one must carry a model release form with one’s camera, just in case. It's a shame, when we think what Monet would have done in such a situation - the public would be poorer without his famous watercolor painting, Springtime. 

I captured these images in Forrest Hill Park between Cleveland Heights and East Cleveland — a lovely place to capture similar pictures.
