How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Early in the morning is the best time to see my neighborhood at peace with itself with nary a soul around. If the swing were not so low, I'd try it out.

ReplyDeleteMe too Kate, fun times!!
ReplyDeleteoh, do try it anyway, kate. just hold your legs out straight. it will feel grand.
ReplyDeleteI can picture a small kid being pushed by their grandparent on the swing.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of swing always brings back so many memories.
ReplyDeleteI memorized this one in 7th Grade, because my Grampa made us a wooden swing set that was the HIT of the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteMade for a wee one so close to the ground.
ReplyDeleteA very nice post today!
ReplyDeleteThis has more charm than the stainless steel swing set we installed in our back yard when my sons were small. We did not have any shade trees in Arizona big enough to hang a swing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tree swing. Some dad got up there pretty high to attach that one to the tree.
ReplyDeleteI was taking two of my little people on a photo shoot in a park last week and lamented that there were no "giant" swings that I remember from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly one!

Neat, the old-fashioned kind!
ReplyDeleteNice and green, and looong ropes for the swing. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMe, too!
ReplyDeleteWhen you sneak out there early some morning to try it out, have Leif come along to take the picture. I want to see the evidence.
ReplyDelete(Re today's paintings, this was an exhibition in a museum, so there were no prices on the art.)
I'm with Jack, lets see the proof!
ReplyDeleteJ'arrive ....
ReplyDeleteLove it! I often find myself taking photos of swings. I so enjoyed them as a kid.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this swing - the essence of childhood summers captured!
