Blue sky, constant changing white clouds, green grass, greener trees, the pound, and scattered flowers here and there, chirpings of birds ....What a beautiful day at Oak Point Park & Nature Preserve this morning!
We got there early, ~ 8am, so that we could enjoy the nature in relative solitude.
We went there for the Nth time now.
Instead of jogging on the usual paved trail on the perimeter of the prairie, which leads to Bob Woodruff Park, we journeyed onto an unpaved trail into the Prairie - High Meadow trail/Bois D'arc Trail.
Walking into the Prairie, the wind breezed into our faces, the low grasses swung at our feet, the clouds were high above us, the prairie extended about a mile to the east of us, we felt unconfined, free, and great.
A large patch of poppy flowers at north side of the prairie was into focus. We were so pleased and excited - we lingered there to enjoy the lively colorful flowers, and took a lot of photos as well.
As we marched toward southeast of the prairie, the wild flowers are more sparsely populated - but we heard a lot of bird chirpings in the prairie but barely saw any. We paused, and observed, we saw tiny birds perched on the top of big grasses!
We were in the middle of the prairie: the swing of the grass, the sound of birds, the blue, white, pink, bright yellow flowers ..... what a visual and auditory stimuli! Peaceful, Calming and Soothing.
