A fair day...

I don't know if anyone noticed, but right at noon it was gorgeous outside! I t was so sunny, but there was just barely enough clouds to prevent it from being really bright outside. I thought it truly was such a sight. So, today Instructor E.J. was wearing a flamingo t-shirt and it reminded me of something. I have been going to King Tiger summer camp since I was 5 so that is 8 years. When I was 8, in summer camp we took a hike through the woods. It was very bright outside but thankfully the canopy of the trees blocked a lot of the brightness from getting through. But, we came upon a river, and there was a narrow land bridge going through it. In the middle, stood a tall, elegant Crane.(An animal crane, not a machine). Then, a hole in the canopy right above the Crane shown a cylinder of light right upon the Crane. It was just so peaceful and majestic, quiet and calm. By far, it truly is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life. It is the only Crane I have ever seen in my life that is wild and is not in a zoo. I really wished Vincent Van Go was standing right next to me so he could have painted that and I would have a painting hung in my room, for the rest of my life.

How is everyone doing with their essays?
