Observation: Around my work place....

Its been several months I am working in a medial company..before taht I was kind of idle, or working from my home office...

The wages feel good, the work is nice too...but the 9-5 routine deprives me of the bicycle rides, and natural world exploration, that I was so fond of...

The ride to the park, feeding the mallards in the pond, marsh, watching encelia blooms, tides, migratory birds, picking prickly pear fruits, photographing horse riders., inhaling the aroma of willow-sage thickets...

The detour to the Mission San Diego, soaking in its history, birding, hanging around the retirement homes on the hills.......

Taking strolls on the lawns, and parks, taking pictures of the million-dollar house..

My definition of fun was changing as per the neighborhood I lived in and thee amenities they offered..

However, in the new situation, I have learned to find source of joy, even at the work environment..
Sometimes, I take my camera and take pictures of the flowers dotting the premises..

I watch the bees gather pollens, sniff the sweet fragrance of heirloom roses, listen to the song sparrows chirp away.....

And there are hills on both sides of the building......Saddleback mountain in the back, and Laguna Hills in the front......

I love watching the hills and imagine hiking in the wilderness, see flocks of crows return to their nests, and enjoy the tangerine sunsets..........

The saddleback mountain received snow on a February day.....

And another day, the mountain was obscure...
