Natalia and I spent a leisurely few hours walking through town to the park. We stopped and smelled the lilacs. We admired the tulips, sat on a park bench and chatted, walked past the statues and playgrounds, strolled along the Aydar river. The river was calm, the air still, the trees silent, all of us meditating in unison.
On the way to the river we passed new murals recently painted on old tin fences in one part of the park. Dilapitated tin panels that were once an eyesore are now are a sight for sore eyes. A perfect background for the children’s play area. Someone created a great art project and had children clean and paint the panels. A few murals have cartoon figures, animals and flowers, bright and cheerful. Another shows three teenagers (I would guess) working something out (not sure of this either but its emotive). A bear and hearts panel expresses love for one another. My favorite is of a contemporary young man, urban dude, modern haircut, superman look, headphones to his ear. They are all beautiful in their own way, and together they add beauty to the park.

Natalia and I stopped to admire them, then headed to an outdoor cafe for ice cream and soda. We pondered the beauty of panels in the park. Another lovely Spring day in Starobilsk.
