It was a beautiful morning. The sun
shining, a soft cool breeze and no smog. I drove my van up into the
hills above the smog layer so the air was clear. How blue the sky
looks when the smog isn't blocking it. I parked my van in the dirt
area where a couple other cars were resting after the long drive. I
climbed out and took a deep breath of the freshness. With a smile on
my face I walked across the parking lot to the dirt path and soon
found myself at a small pond. The sun glinted off the green water.
I could see movement a few feet out and quietly watched. Soon a
turtle poked its head up out of the water. I forgot about the camera
in my hand as I watched the turtle swim towards me, climb up on a
branch and stretch out for a sunning. I heard a splash nearby and
followed the sound. I came to a tangle of trees and saw several
ducks paddling around in the shady water. I looked into the branches
and spotted some ducks resting a few inches above the water. I
continued to look around and saw a couple ducks much higher up in the
trees. This time I remembered that my whole point of coming was to
get some pictures. Pulling out my camera I clicked away. Now to get
back to enjoying the beauty before me, surrounding me. Breathe in
the fresh air, feel the warmth of sun on my face. Smile.
