I wouldn’t mind walking to work even in the cold if I could enjoy this beautiful park along the way every morning. However, I know that even if this were my route, before long I would stop noticing its charm. My mind would turn to the work ahead of me, and I would miss the shadows, the natural canopy, and the way the morning light reflects off the snow. Although this is not the sidewalk I take to work, I do have my personal routes. Perhaps if I took the time to open my eyes I might find beauty on my morning commutes as well. Unique and wonderful beauty is always around me. Open my eyes and behold.

I realize it’s August and many of us are dealing with extreme heat. What better time to post a picture of a snow covered park bench? I continue to be amazed at the vast variety of weather on this planet we call earth. This year I’ve experienced snow, hail, sleet, mist, rainstorms, windstorms, lightning, and more. The only things I can think of I have not experienced are tornadoes or hurricanes. Since I live in Oklahoma, hurricanes are out. However, our state has had its share of tornadoes. I know that weather is often destructive (just this year, I had over $17,000 in hail damage to my home and car). However, given the option of no weather or weather with all its destructive and beautiful variations, I’ll choose weather. I love the snow covered park benches, the ice cycles clinging to the branches, the dark rolling thunder clouds, the summer rain that makes the overheated streets steam, and the swirling wind that carries away the fall leaves. I love it all.
