Rainy day greetings!

5/15/2022

It was a wet day. I took a quick walk in the park to fulfill my duty as spark ranger. Unexpectedly, several folks came out to say hello. I guess rain cannot stop the party. I was greeted by several geese, two chipmunks, a green heron, a mallard duck, and the family of wood ducks. The geese and the ducks performed parades in the air, on the shore, and in the pond, respectively. I felt so flattered.

Outside the park, the Japanese maple and a flower of creeping woodsorrel caught my attention. I stared at them for quite a while. How could I just leave without taking pictures to tell the world how beautiful they are.
