Lets go for a Picnic...

Today is already Friday. Looking forward for a good weekend tomorrow. And it's been a while I have a long thought of going for a picnic. Have even made this plan for a picnic several times before this but still can't get a good time for it. Hoping that this weekend to be the one.

 

Why do we go for a picnic?

Picnic is just a good event to spend time with either friends or family members and to enjoy with them the good time out of the busy schedule of life. It can also be a leisure activiries during our free time during the weekends. It is just a social gathering at which each participant generally brings food to be shared by a group of fashionable people for purposes of entertainment. Each member was expected to provide a share of the entertainment and of the refreshments, and this idea of mutual sharing or cooperation was fundamental to the original significance of the picnic. Later the word took on the additional meaning of an outdoor pleasure party.

An outdoor meal could be in a garden and as a picnic is concern it actually requires that we travel somewhere to eat. Wherever it is done, picnicking can be one of the supreme pleasures of outdoor life.

It is the pleasures of outdoor food are those the nature has to offer, as ephemeral as they are intense.

A bird will sing his song and fly away, leaves will flutter and jostle the sunlight for a brief second—sky, flowers, and scents have each their small parts to play in the perfect happiness of those enchanted moments and make the picnic a leisurely cheerful and stress relief moments.

Contemporarily, a picnic can be defined simply as a pleasure excursion at which a meal is eaten outdoors, ideally taking place in a beautiful landscape such as a park, beside a lake or with an interesting view and possibly at a public event such as before an open air theatre performance, and usually in summer.

Picnics are often family-oriented but can also be an intimate occasion between two people or a large get-together such as company picnics and social group picnics.

On romantic and family picnics a picnic basket and a blanket (to sit or recline on) are usually brought along. Outdoor games or some other form of entertainment are common at large picnics.

Some picnics are a potluck, an entertainment at which each person contributed some dish to a common table for all to share. When the picnic is not also a cookout, the food eaten is rarely hot, instead taking the form of deli sandwiches, finger food, fresh fruit, salad, simple snacks and accompanied by hot or cold soft drinks.


My picnic choice of location...
For this picnic plan of mine, I am still working out on a list of party names, foodlist and good choice of site. Various good sites has been shortlisted such as either in the gardens, in the park, by the lakeside, near the waterfall, at the hillside or maybe by the beach. Well either it is going to be a morning breakfast picnic, an evening affair or maybe a night beach picnic, that shall still be an options to make. For whatever  decission made, hoping that the picnic could bring me close to nature and please me as good to chase away the stress in me.

  

So... lets go for a picnic over the weekend :-)

And I hope by sharing these nice picnic scene pictures it will help me to decide my picnic site and theme and further inflence me by making me so tempting to have on my own.... PICNIC.
