The air was a blend of coolness and warmth on Monday. A wonderful day for a walk or two, despite the minute droplets of intermittent rain. We took advantage of the weather to go for a stroll in a local park. It's a place we've been to many, many times. Grasses, trees, flowers, leaves, water... as I explained to a student last week, two people can watch the same sunrise, and see something completely different. To one, it's just a sunrise. To the other, it's dark shadowy clouds dramatically under lit by the rising sun, with a rosy blush throughout. Same sunrise, different perspective.
Same park, different perspective.

Bridging the distance
Quiet place for a picnic
Graceful arc
Tibetan Spaniels generally love being on high places, and Keani is no exception.
Autumn's touch
Park residents
Splashes of color. The flowers reminded me of snapdragons
Winding trail
Reflection
The sinuous shapes of trees
In a field of clover
Juxtaposition
Tree bark patterns
Ordinary or extraordinary?
Growing ducklings and their mother
Alone in a sea of green
Bridal trails of ivy
Touching a mirror
Icewind, happily on top of everything
In the driver's seat with Dad

Luved the tour. What a great place to go. Your fearless Keani looks extremely pleased with the outing too.
Great captions to go with the pictures.
*laughs* Yes he does, doesn't he? Thanks hon :) Glad you could take the tour with us!
Monica how true is this ! I love all of your photos (especially the furry "kids")LOL
Yes .. our perceptions of the same occurrence such as a sunrise can be so different .. I am always in awe of them no matter how many I see .. I can't even begin to explain how they feel to me .. afternoon light almost the same thing, inexplicable, dramatic, profound .. light stirs something in me I can not explain. The trees and trails there are gorgeous .. I love trees .. thus squeezing in so many in our not so big yards .. but I have to have them : )
Autumn is touching a few leaves isn't it ? I love it !
Great post : )

Dear Joy,
I can certainly sympathize. There is something truly magical about trees - they have a personality all their own. Thanks for taking the tour with us! I'm so grateful we have these special places to appreciate - and so glad that you share your sunrises with us!
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous. Aristotle
So I say extraordinary to all aspects.
I couldn't agree more, with you and with Aristotle :) Something of the marvelous - from the tiniest leaf, to the largest, snow capped mountain.
