I Do NOT Go ANYWHERE! Unmitigated JOY!
I have. I was on a trip, to Upstate New York. Covid had jsut hit a few months before, and we were all still adjusting to the Lockdowns, and Pandemic rules. BUT, I am a photographer and getting out and seeing things was in my blood! So, off I go, to my car to see the things that I can see!
As a little kid, my parents took us on a trip across country, pulling a trailer, stopping all over the US and visiting parks, landmarks and cool things. We stopped at Niagara Falls... but, I was so young, my memories are Vague at Best!
I found myself, on this trip, 8 hours from home, and right near by Niagara Falls. But stopping there for photos was not ALL that wa son my mind. I stopped at a State Park, right next to 30 mile Lighthouse. That's the image above, where two happy tourists posed for me, in front of 30 mile Point Lighthouse.
Nearby, in the park, were wide open spaces and a picnic area, and trees to give us shade. After a brief rain shower, and picnic under a gazebo roof, I was watching ... and spotted Absolute Innocence and Joy!
Not a thought of Covid. nor Pandemic... simply Joy. This young girl was frolics, spinning, doing cartwheels, and simply playing on the cool summer wet grass. Barefoot, her dress flowing behind and this beautiful red gold curls in the winds behind her. her arms, asunder, her coltish legs, kicking free.
Innocence.
Happiness.
She was positively giddy.
The trip was thru parts of the eastern farmland. there were peach trees and corn head high, by Fourth Of July. There were cherries trees, everywhere. After the storm, the sweet scent of rains, on farm fresh lands was in the air.
And everywhere I went, there was that little girl,
Smiling. Laughing. Playing.
Sure, I ended up at Niagara Falls, and could look across the way into Downtown Toronto, but I say, to this day, what made that trip so amazing, was seeing such JOY and Happiness, from that little girl.
