It’s good to remember that what may seem to me to be a perfectly ordinary trip to the park may in fact be perfectly magical to the sweet child beside me.
There’s so much wonder to be found in a line of ants. A beetle. Perhaps that one really big acorn.
Who knows what we might find? Something amazing, certainly. Unfortunately, “armagiddos are nocturnal.”
And my best shot:
Who knows how many Great Blue Herons I’ve seen in my life. Dozens at least. And there were always a few who frequented the cow ponds at home. And yet I am a little excited every time I see one.
When I see her exclaim with delight when she comes across something beautiful, I am grateful for this grateful child.

My oldest always calls birds that hang out by the water “fisher birds”. Lovely shot. I also like the one with the guide book. Make your way to our parts and you can see the armagiddos. We see them in the daytime a lot.
The last one… is my FAVORITE. So serene.
I love all these shots. My youngest found a huge acorn at the park this weekend and would not let it go, had to bring it home and studied the for the whole ride home.
