Bring Me to Life

One of the things that I think is most beautiful to me is watching the changes in the seasons. But to me, there's nothing as beautiful as the change between Winter and Spring. There's something that I just love. Maybe it's the way nature wakes up from wintery slumber. Or could be the way you wake up one day and there's suddenly a new spirit of life in the air. Something in the air seems lighter, and has cleaner smell. I think it might be because new life is about to grow. And that quiet calm as the door winter starts to close and the door to Spring starts to open is one of the most beautiful things in the world. I don't know it just has this quiet understated beauty because if you don't look closely you won't even notice it.

I think being on Kingsboro here makes it even more beautiful to notice. And I can't believe I've never really noticed it before. Maybe I never really took the time. Anyway this morning as I going on my usual walk I noticed sultle little signs that Spring is ready to be sprung. I don't know the birds to me just seemed to have more spring in their step. The entire flock of swans was on the beach. Totally off topic, I think it's really cool how they can bend their bodies and I wish I could do that myself. It certainly would come in handy for recreational purposes. Anyway, I've gone totally off tangent. Like I said the swans were on the beach, and I don't know call me crazy but I sensed that they were more excited to be there today. Maybe it was just because there were more than 3 or 4 them there. And hanging on the beach with them were these cute little fuzzy black ducks. I never knew geese and ducks played together, but I guess they do. I've seen them before but today they seemed to be well, quacking more. And when I looked down the bay, the sailboats even though they are objects, and are still in their winter slumber just seemed more lively. I don't know there was more of air about them, like they knew they had to get ready for adventure and couldn't wait.
