MMM...Fall.

It's always good to have friends that love the outdoor life as much as you. My friend Tauna and I enjoyed the lovely Fall and ducks the other day. We both had a paper to write up, so we decided to go to Laurelhurst Park to work on it. Before we could actually start working, we walked around for a little while admiring all of the beautiful trees and the leaves that were beginning to change. They all looked so beautiful, each a masterpiece that words will never be able to describe.



On our walk around the park we came across a man who was feeding the ducks. I had my camera, and while I was taking pictures of them, the duck man threw some crackers at my feet so that the ducks would come to me. He then gave a few crackers to Tauna and I so that we could feed them. I can't tell you how cool it was. I think I am in love with ducks. There had to be like a hundred gazillion of them, well maybe just 30. I really wanted to pick one up, but I learned in Girl Scouts that you shouldn't do that.



After the duck's bellies were full, we kept on walking. We found this tree whose branches hung so gracefully above the water. The leaves on this tree were beyond amazing and it hasn't even met the peak of it's fall colors.

After tree watching for almost an hour, we decided that it would be a good idea to start working on our papers. I, however, have a focusing problem and if you put me in a beautiful park there is no way that I am going to be able to fully focus on writing a paper. I kept getting side tracked; instead of typing I'd catch myself staring at everything in the park. There was a Korean family with a new baby taking pictures in front of the pond, a family of 3 who were duck watching across from us, and occasionally a volleyball team from the high school nearby would pass us on their jog. Somehow though, I did manage to finish and Tauna and I packed up our bags and went on our last walk through the park.



In conclusion: park = amazing. Go there.
