A Romantic Picnic Idea
When searching for a romantic picnic idea,
people usually focus on place. 'Where can we go that's
romantic?' is the main question they ask themselves. And
we agree that location can make or break a romantic
picnic outing. Who can forget that 'romantic' picnic that
was shattered when the family from hell set up camp close
by? Or that perfect picnic spot on the cliff top where
you clutched your paper plates and napkins, buffeted by
gale force winds?
But here's another approach that adds a novel experience to the
romantic picnic recipe. Start with a suitable location, include
some fabulous food and drink, then shift your focus away from
the landscape and discover a new perspective. Jacqueline
Jackson tells us how in her article titled Find Fascinating
Shapes in The Sky:
Drift back in time to when you
were a child and remember how much fun you had
looking for shapes in the clouds.
Plan a romantic picnic with your loved one. Bring a blanket
to spread out on the ground. Lay back and watch the clouds
float by. Start a journal and record the different shapes
you see and the fun things you did that day. A journal
filled with memories of the great times in your lives is
priceless.
At www.cloudman.com you can find some fun
things to turn cloud watching into a romantic hobby. Use
their discovery notebook as your journal, get tips on
photography, and look at the cloud atlas or cloud
formation chart.
What an excellent way to unwind.
