I spent the day at Marine Park and the Salt Marsh Nature Center in Brooklyn. New places means lots of pictures; and more importantly the type of pictures taken with new eyes. If only you could see things for the first time every time.
Inside the Nature Center.
8:40am.
A gentle breeze on a warm summer day.
A plane shaped cloud!
Surrounding the marsh.
it might seem arbitrary to comment on the introductions that lead up to rather than the images themselves, but it has to be said (since it is a chronicle), wishing that you could see everything for the first time (everytime) has to be one of the most beautifully hopeful thoughts i have read since i was a child. It's been a very long time since a string of words made me close my eyes & dream.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for saying that. Coming from a writer (and I think you are one, a good one) that means a lot.
