The path

in life •  6 years ago

Here is a path that I walk several times a week. It borders a ravine with a seasonal creek on one side and a grassy meadow on the other. Soon the trees will be green obscuring the view into the ravine. The grass will grow tall making navigation through the meadow difficult. I feel a connection to this place. There are deer - several I know by sight and I know where they will likely be based on the time of day and weather. There is a pair of kites that are always somewhere near. There are turkeys and many other birds including a pheasant that we often flush from his hiding space but never manage to photograph. A pair of mallards occupy a wide, flat stretch of the creek and always chase away the hooded mergansers further upstream. I love it today but it will be different tomorrow. Ever changing with the seasons. I love my life today but things are changing. Its hard to let go of today. But its the only way to discover and fall in love with your tomorrow.

It is amazing the connections we get with different places for a number of different reasons.

Really nice shot Steven, I can't wait for it when we will get spring here.

We had snow today! I got a so-so photo but I will probably post. Snow about 1000 feet so none in my valley but you could see it on the hills

Then I'm already curious about the photo, although I can't see the snow anymore. :-D
