At first, all I could see was cracked pavement, weeds, and overgrown dividers in the parking lot. [...] Suddenly, a weed transformed into green leaves with purple-pink edges, and their shapes were not only twisted as if dancing, but the edges were inconsistent. I noticed along the edge of the leaves there were little thorns, and as the sun shone upon them fascinating shadows were cast. The play of color and form and texture was so intriguing.

Within the first quarter of a mile, he pointed out many plants and tiny flowers that I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. We spent an enjoyable morning walking, uncovering tiny hidden flowers and identifying others more obvious and showy. I learned so much.
