Lakeview Ducks

After church yesterday, we stopped for a visit at Lakeview Park to feed the ducks. We had several hot dog buns, tortillas, and sliced bread that was very old and dry…and we know just how much the ducks enjoy a treat like that. I have never paid attention to the beauty of that park before. I guess I’ve never taken the time before to notice just how beautiful it really is. The pond where the ducks comingle has a couple fountains and is surrounded by cattails and willow trees. There is a bridge where the river runs, and a playground with picnic tables. It’s strange how your perception can change when you really look at the whole picture! I’ll have to return again soon for another visit! There were ducks, ducks, more ducks, and even a bullfrog sitting by the edge of the pond. We were able to get just a few pictures while we were there during the afternoon. There is certainly a different feel about Sundays. It seems to be a day so tranquil and serene, as we think about other aspects of life than our jobs, mundane routines, and the stress that comes with every other day. I am grateful for that one day a week, that I can focus my attention on the Lord, and everything he has given and done for us…to draw closer to him. I am grateful for all the living creatures here upon this earth that we can enjoy day in and day out.
