The Side Road


Today on my drive home I took the long way. It's something I like to do when I'm in no big rush. Taking the extra 10 minutes to get home is worth the chance to capture a picture like this one. I knew this would be a beautiful shot when I took it. Besides to magnificent glow coming from the sun, the sky has such a beautiful contrast of blues all neatly lined up one on top of the other. It's a peaceful drive past the town lake. There's a path around it which you can always find people walking and running. I sometimes like to stop here and watch these people doing their laps. You can often find me sitting on the benches or on the grass with my blanket. Sitting with my earphones in, scribbling away in my journal. I wonder if everyone has their little spots where they like to take a minute to sit back and just admire their surroundings?? Maybe a different route home that might help you get that one glimpse that makes you smile without even realizing it... If not, may I suggest that you be spontanious one day and turn off on that unfamilar road and find yourself another moment to enjoy.
