music to my eyes.

The sun commanded us. Go to a park. I read this morning in the community news that an old favorite, Nelson park, just sprouted a new drinking fountain.

My favorite memories from Nelson park are...

1. Duke took me there on one of our first dates. He stole my shoe and I chased him.

2. The boys and I chose to try and watch the sunrise there last February. February. Can you believe it?

Now I can add today to that list. It was lovely.

We really broke in that new drinking fountain...

I am so very thankful for the art of photography. I find its product valuable enough to invest my limited time. In turn, along with the preservation of precious moments, I see with keener eyes.

Without photography, I doubt I would have considered a drinking fountain to be a worthy attraction. It would have been just as heavenly had I never snapped a photograph, so long as we'd had our keen eyes on. I guess what photography does for me is gift me with gratitude goggles, for highlighting simple pleasures. The same goggles that my children wear always. I hope they never wake up a morning of life without them on.
