Spring morning at the pond
April 19, 2010
The college Damien works at, five minutes from our house, has a small pond on its campus. The campus itself is very beautiful. Old brick building, white bell towers and green spaces. Very New England college feel. But the "natural" jewel of the college grounds is the man made pond.
This time of year it is coming to life. Ducks, red winged blackbirds, blossoming trees and no doubt all kinds of microscopic critters I can't see.
I took an early morning walk there two days last week. The first day I was by my myself (so quiet and peaceful out all by my lonesome) but after I described the beauty to my children Brienne decided to join me on the second outing.
It was a lovely time together, just the two of us in the early morning. Out before breakfast and back home before the other two were even awake.
Sharing this kind of beauty with my children makes my heart sing. Taking photos of this kind of beauty make my heart sing.
Is anything more lovely than magnolia blossoms on an April morning?
