When is the last time that you looked at your surroundings like a child might? This week has been a bit challenging on my ranch and I really needed to unwind. So, I decided to visit the Ramah State Wildlife Area. It is north of Colorado Springs on Highway 24. It is located between the small towns of Calhan and Ramah.
This Ramah State Wildlife Area is very simple and understated when compared to the Colorado Springs areas' other attractions such as Garden of the Gods, the Manitou Incline, Helen Hunt Falls, the Paint Mines, Pikes Peak etc. However, the Ramah State Wildlife Area does have a small fishing lake with a boat ramp. It also provides the opportunity for bird watching.
At first, I was disappointed that I didn't get out there when the lighting would be optimal for photographs of the lake. Yet after watching a grandpa with his grand kids getting ready to fish, I decided to take a deep breath of air and to just enjoy myself. I found myself feeling like a child full of amazement as I really noticed my surroundings.
How long has it been since you looked at a frog up close?
What about a dragon fly?
This plant was cool.
What would you see if you looked at your surroundings through the eyes of a child?
Sincerely,
Sondra Meyer
