As an outdoor ed. major, when I walk through Raven Lake, the closest thing we have to a park in our neighborhood, I like to see it as God made it, without painted rocks, trash, did I mention painted rocks? The bane of my existence!
So when I walked Annie through Raven Lake on Sunday and saw the painted rocks along the trail - HORROR! - I held back. I didn't toss them in the lake. I just mocked them. "This one would look better here." "That was a stupid place to put a rock." "Creative people would have put a rock here."
When I walked Annie through Raven Lake on Monday, I moved the rocks to where I thought they would look best. I did not deprive the rock painter of their freedom of expression (untrammeled), but I did choose to exhibit a much more creative design.
When I walked Annie through Raven Lake on Tuesday, I took pictures of some of my favorites. (Trust me, some were really ugly.). Let me know what you think!
