Beautiful story about a day at the pond.
I’ve never thought about a day at the pond this way. This is a beautiful story about a man watching the ducks come to the pond. It’s a great story of realizing what’s happening, taking a moment to take it all in and observing what’s around us. I loved it and will look at time at the pond or out in nature a little differently.
If you’re interested in a story about nature and observing, then this is the book for you.
