Observing My Backyard

In my backyard I see the big man-made pond. The bright sun is out finally and feeling the heat. Everything that I see was made by man, but nature has taken over. Algae is in the water and the creatures inside the pond swim all over. The fish are small, but that is because the Herons eat the bigger fish as I see it them now. Since today is good-looking outdoors, I can smell a barbeque even though there is a ridiculous rule in my neighborhood that we are not allowed to cook outside. If the adults are out and about them their children are as well. The little children are laughing, playing, and running in other people’s yards. From what I see and hear, they do not notice how one day if the world may lose its green. Hopefully when they get older they will stop to smell the fresh air, taste the rain if it shall fall, feel the sun beating on their skin, see how beautiful or ugly the outdoors are, and perhaps hear younger children play. Until they see what I see right now, which in my opinion is a nice day to be outside; they will never know until they sit and listen as I am doing right now. Eventually, they will appreciate the details in the ground and in the sky. Since the man-made pond is the first thing I see, moving closer I see garbage. Now my generation is aware that our planet is slowly falling apart. I personally enjoy taking time out of my day to appreciate everything that is natural. After knowing that it could disappear concerns me. So seeing trash in the pond upsets me, so I act.
