... the eyes of a child...

i visited my daughter and grandson...
i thought it comical the excitement he
expresses each time he watches "shrek".

today while venturing in a wildlife area,
i was fascinated by the beauty
of a tri-colored heron...
i have see possibly hundreds..
and have many photos...

i remember meeting folks that ask
why i continue to photo the same variety
of heron over and over again..

today i realized why..

i do not want the same photo
of a heron i already have...
i want the photo of the
heron i do not have...

that is when i understood
the journey i am on...
i am not seeking the eyes of "age" and "wisdom"...
it is the wonderfilled eyes of a child that i seek...

to hold moments as precious ...

and look forward always to the beauty
that is all around....
