While recovering from my cold, I went outside and laid on the back deck, staring at the sky, the sun shining down on me, the temperature, perfect. Overhead, we watched as these white birds with black tips on their wings soared high above. Changing position. Sometimes it seemed as though they were making random pictures with their formations, other times they made the definite V-formation. They were so high up there, that it was hard to tell just how big they were.

For 2 minutes, I stared at the sky in awe over the simplicity and complexity of nature. There is plenty of park space near home and work and I think I want to always have handy, a little blanket to sit under the sky, relax, and take in a bit of nature. 

By the way, this is stock imagery. I didn’t get to see the birds from this view. I wish!
