Hidden Garden

Today was such an unexpected,  awesome adventure.  I have a major exam tomorrow in Health Psychology and took the day off work to go and study on campus.  I got up early and drove across town with my camera hoping to get a good shot of the fall colors in the morning sunlight but it was really overcast and nothing seemed fitting.  I parked in the campus parking deck and walked into the woods hoping to find a brilliant tree or something to take a picture of before I relegated myself to the study cubical.  Instead  I found an entire hidden world of beauty I did not know existed.  I spent several hours having the most amazing time discovering the Botanical garden and  observing the wildlife inside.  I had so much fun just wondering around and discovering what would come across my path on the next turn of the trail.  There were so many surprises I could not begin to share them all.   I just loved this day.  I finally did get to study and I had a great conversation with my very best friend who I missed dearly the past week.  I am so thankful for the gifts I was given.
