"Bonny Park"

I went to Bonny Park. I stayed there for the entire 40 minutes. I arrived at the park about 10:30 in the morning. I did not go along because I am afraid of the wild life, which I am not accustomed to it.

Upon entrance of the park, I took the nature walk into the 1.3 mile walking path. There were lots of brown leaves on the ground, and new buds on the trees. The sun was a nice lit glow. Such a picture of life in the park. Bicycle riders passing by, a lady walking her two dogs, and three young guys practicing sports in the field nearby.

The park had lots of dead leaves around, but there were lots of new buds around. The pine trees had shed for the winter, the oak tree had shed, and new leaves were on the tree. Around the corner of the park was a field of tall palm trees, they were very healthy and lovely.

Further on in my nature walk, I could hear the mockingbird making sounds in the tree not far from me. I wonder if they were reacting to my presence around them. They were mighty busy in sounds.

I began to observe the movement of the wind. It was a small movement, which in turn causes the tree leaves to move back and forth. Spring has not fully arrived, but surely it is in the progress.

I walked on the bridge that takes you over to the woods of the park. Once you are in the middle of the bridge you can hear the stillness around you, and the shifting of the bridge that extends into the water. The wildlife underneath me was still!

The further I walked into the woods, the grass was much more greener. The rabbits were not out in the open this time of morning. I suppose it was because the sun was full. Although, I did see a turtle easing into the green cloudy water in a stream.

I really got an ideal of what a habitat looks like for the snake, alligator, rabbit and the squirrel. You could see no movement, but they are out there in the bush. I respect the place to be their homeland.

Fungus and pollen is in the water, a canal is running through the park, carrying water to the lake. Isn't it something how everything reacts in nature? As I am leaving out of the woods of the park, I can hear birds singing in the trees again. I can hear the sound of an emergency vehicle from the highway.

My lasting thoughts of my visit to the Bonny Park is pleasant ones. There was an inner peace that one could not find outside of the nature park. I could sense the presence of the spirit of God there. I think I should visit the park more often in order to get rid of the fear of the animals in the park. God created nature for man to enjoy!
