A combination of moods and emotions plus a question pushes me towards a monochrome approach to the story to come. Another walk in a park that I love and which, because it is far from my home, happens less often but still regularly, every month.
I've grown old and, what's more, I still insist on this action. Older age comes with benefits and one of them is forgetfulness. Tired memory gives way to forgetfulness and, sometimes I forget that I have aged. That is unless I happen to meet myself in a mirror, otherwise, I try to avoid this encounter with the mirror as much as possible.
When I forget I'm old and don't even meet the mirror I'm well. I'm as optimistic as I was in my youth...
But when I meet the mirror and remember that I'm old and still have various simultaneous pains in different parts of my body, I become pessimistic and see everything in black and white.
I took advantage of this unpleasant state to imagine a beautiful walk, on a beautiful spring day, as it was taken many years ago when I could only take black and white photos.

Circus Park
Spring
In my youth, I was a cinephile and saw tons of movies. I have forgotten most of them but snippets of them and titles come to me from memory stimulated by different images, events, or songs.
I like to use the names of forgotten movies sometimes...
The park belongs to children and animals!
I remember a movie that I remember almost nothing from, just this song...
Carpenters - Bless the Beasts and the Children
It is a moving film starring Katharine Hepburn, Henri Fonda, and Jane Fonda. I think the only film Jane starred in with her father.
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge.
