blue heron....

day 122...365 project

this guy showed up in my pond the other morning....i have never seen him before and have no clue as to what he is called....he only graces me in the early morning for about a half hour then moves on for the remainder of the day~~~>~~~>~~~>~

in the meadow......

my friend cathy o. and i went on a park hopping adventure last week~~~~>  
she introduced me to a beautiful meadow in plymouth not far from her home.

i love meadows....they have always held a romantic feel for me....then again....all life holds that feel for me.  i believe i call it "romancing the ordinary"...a skill i assure you.

most would prefer i remove my "rose colored" glasses....ummmm...no....i happen to LoVe my glasses....and....they would have to be surgically removed as they are a part of my~lovely~self.

back to the meadow....

in the meadow~~~~~> there is a fabulous tree with a canopy to sit underneath and dream...

mmmmm.....i sat in the shade underneath it....a heavenly space to be in and dream.

to my left in the distance i noticed an odd building.....

it looked so pretty tucked up on a hill....

hmmmm....i wonder what it is used for? 

why is it built out of bricks...i could probably live there....i could hang a curtain over the door...

wow!  when the seedling trees in front of it grow it will be almost hidden...

the grass blowing in the wind is whispering....i am too content to listen to what it has to say ~~~~>~~~~>~~~~~~>

where is my friend cathy anyway????

hello dandelion...and blades of grass...you compliment eachother nicely....

ummm.... where is cathy? 

i should probably look for her....

i love the path~~~>

the sunlight is shining perfectly right at the top.....

ooooo.....the chartruese color of new growth on an evergreen....the color contrast is refreshing.

cathy? 

where are you?

oh!

you are watching the geese...

what a sweet family.

trouble.....???

oh no!

don't worry kids....dad has it all under control...

~~~~> swim ~~~>

whew!

safe and sound.

thank you cathy for park hopping with me

in the meadow.

in beauty,

Pamela

park hopping.... neil park continued...

now where was i...

neil park...
as i mentioned in an earlier post...gardening this summer has taken on a new meaning for me....PARK HOPPING has become my new venture while enjoying nature "au natural" rather than in a manucured form. see that post for more info (may 16).

i was lost for 2 hours underneath this willow tree...isn't it dreamy and magical and beautiful?
i found the most wonderful treasures....

a turtle...

ummmm....a lot of turtles ~**~*~*a community gathering*~**~

they are so innocent and simplistic....just hanging out on a log suntanning...

no rush...no hurry...only lounging...

oh! love birds....

and...their child arrives ~**~*~

hello little snail...there were TONS of snails washed up on shore....

i was afraid i was going to step on one by accident.

everywhere i turned my quiet eye...there was something new to discover, watch and enjoy...

...the ducks hidden on the tree branch....

a bird waiting for my attention....

and a magnificent tree with a story to tell....

park hopping 101...quiet your mind and quiet your eye...then ask "what do you have to show my~lovely~self?"

in beauty,

Pamela
