| Colorful leaves sprinkle the ground |
As I walked into the park, my eyes went immediately to the colorful array of leaves scattered on the ground like colorful candy sprinkles. At once, I noticed the beautiful silence, with only the sound of the of the raindrops kissing the surface of the lake. I glanced around to catch a glimpse of the ducks, but I did not see them from where I sat. I walked further down around the lake and still did not spot them. I wonder where they went?

| Colorful leaves |
I looked up at the trees, and noticed a few with bare branches, the wind propelled the leaves off the branches to the ground. As I walked around to take pictures, the ground was wet and muddy in some areas, so I got a little mud on my shoes. This did not bother me at all, as I actually welcomed the touch of earth on me. I sat back down at the picnic table, and a soft breeze blew a few leaves down from the trees, like rain from the sky. As I walked along, I noticed a beehive nestled in a tree, at least I think it is a beehive!
I saw a man walking his dog around the lake, and this made me miss my dog. He loves to visit this park, and with my hectic schedule, I rarely have time to bring him anymore. I make a mental note to try to bring him here tomorrow, which is my day off from work. I hope the weather is nice and not too cool or rainy. Like the short seasons that come to pass, each day of my life seems to go by so quickly. It seems difficult to find time for the ones I love because I am pulled in a million different directions from daily obligations. I always feel a need to spend more time in nature, with my dog, and with my family and friends. I also feel like I go through the motions of life too quickly and do not take the time to enjoy the moment and the beauty right in front of my face.

The leaves on the ground and some bare branches indicated more changes in the season, as in life. Fall would come to an end soon, and winter will cover us with a blanket of white. I did not feel sad about this, but at peace. Change is inevitable, and the change of seasons only reminds me of the changes in my own life, from moment to moment, I change.
