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.”
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.
