I went on a field trip today for part of my course to a botanic garden, and I am really glad to be part of such a beautiful world. I mean, it’s not that I don’t normally appreciate a garden, but I was particularly aware of how the flowers were in bloom and the day was fine. The diversity of flowers and trees amazes me still; some of the species I saw today were several hundred million years old. The length of time man has been on earth doesn’t even cast a shadow on that. It’s not that I haven’t appreciated the smell and beauty of flowers before, but I suppose I am reminded of how they make the world that much more colourful and glorious to be apart of.
