Queen for a Day

I was driving back to camp after a day of exploring around Fish Creek in Door County.  I don’t get over this way too often because of the crowds.  I actually prefer the northern end of the peninsula which is a little rougher with less people.  The sun was starting to settle down and Rocky was snoring in back of me, when I came across of this field of wheat.  The long shadows and the lush growth of Queens Anne Lace caught my eye and I pulled off to the side of the road.  The scene was so peaceful with the flowers waving in the breeze, that I sat down, eye level with the flowers and just soaked it in.  You don’t have to look very hard to find this kind of rural contentment.  The trick is to slow down and realize this is a fleeting moment, a gift that is there for all of us to enjoy.  Even for just a moment.
