June Blogging Challenge Day 2

Think about a place you're grateful for.

I'm going to say the park that is a block away from me. Health has kept me from it as of late, but I have spent many an hour in that park just walking the trails, or watching the wildlife. I very much enjoy being there.

When I was a kid, I would go swimming in a pool that is inside the grounds of the park. After I would often walk a bit in the park, or play on the swings in the playground there.

I remember being impressed with the swans. Swans can be rather aggressive however, and they eventually had to do something about the one.

There is a serpentine in the middle of the park. The water is not always that nice, in fact it can be very disgusting in mid summer. But the birds still like it, and often nest on the little islands in it.

The library and art museum that are also in the park have given me a lot of joy over the years. I do hope I can get to the park in the near future. My knees are really bad as of late, but I would love to go sit on a bench and watch the world go by about now.
