The theme for week 14 of the Project 52 Pet Photographer’s blog circle is “wide open spaces”.
In this time of COVID-19 restrictions and physical distancing, I am so fortunate to have a wide-open space literally steps from my back door.
The gate from the backyard opens to a prairie field that I and the dogs walk almost every day. We never tire of the walk or the scenery as the field sings the song of each season so beautifully.
As it is… this time of year is perhaps the drabbest with leftover snow and much water laying about. These days, Lace and I tend to head out early while the frost still spikes the grass and the spring sun has yet to work its magic on the thin ice that covers the many puddles.
This morning, while I strolled and Lacie ran about, I heard a robin’s song as a flock of geese flew overhead. In these uncertain times, this field and our morning walk remind me that I have much to be grateful for.
I’ll sing my song to the wide open spaces
I’ll sing my heart out to the infinite sea
I’ll sing my visions to the sky high mountains
I’ll sing my song to the free, to the free.
~ Pete Townshend
