The Return of Jonathan Livingston

Jonathan Livingston

A sunny, 57 degree day invited Sherry and me to visit Island Park in Elkhart Indiana. People were walking dogs and children.

As we were walking across the bridge to Island Park, I spotted a seagull resting on the fence. It was as if he was prompting us to continue. Wishing to snap a good photograph, I approached too closely and he flew away. “Sad”, I said to Sherry.

We walked a bit and then, by chance, Sherry said he was back “It must be his perch” she added. “Ah…Jonathan Livingston returns.” I quipped.

Many gulls flew around, dipped into the lake and congregated near the shore.

Sherry and I continued our springtime exploration of nature.

Geese also congregated in the river. They must be finding adequate food supply, judging by the adornments they left for us upon the sidewalk.

I am eagerly looking forward to Rhapsody in Green. New are the burgundy, metal benches occupied now only by twigs and tree seeds. Of course everyone else will want to be the first to claim a spot. So, we will have to arrive early enough to make a claim.

The next sunny, warm day we have, just like Jonathan Livingston, I invite you to visit Island Park
