For my eyes only nature’s beauty given to interpretation.

Yesterday morning was absolutely gorgeous. The sky was bright the sun was warm and everything seemed more alive than usual. I had time to kill so I took a walk down by the pond before heading off to work. I found 8 turtles sun bathing, a dozen or so geese including three goslings being escorted by two very over protective parents, and a Blue Heron wading along the shoreline. The dog chased frogs into the pond and Eastern Cottontails into the brush. I felt a rhythm to all the motion surrounding me. All that nature squashed into the same space fit together so perfectly. Surely, in moments like this I’m seeing a reflection of the face of God.

There are places in this world that reach right though me. I’ve been carrying this place with me for a few weeks now. Don’t know if it was the canopy overhead or the still, quiet water, or both, but I’m truly glad I experienced it.
