Guestbook Talisman Park - The Beauty of Nature in Canada

The park by Talisman Centre in downtown is a place full of beauty. In the winter time, this is the place I like to visit often to fill my mind with ever-increasing wonder and awe. It is profound that something beautiful as this place exists in this world. In the picture captured, I am seen twirling about in my beautiful, burgundy dress, allowing my hair to fly to the rhythm of the twirls I was doing as the ruffles on my dress fly up in the air; my long black hair spins about me. It shines at the contrast of the light reflected by the snow and the snow-covered pine trees. The smile on my face is to express the happiness that I feel being surrounded by this beauty. Living in Canada for only a couple of years, I’ve noticed that winter is underestimated and taken for granted by many. Back in my country, I never got to see snow. I am very much grateful that the winter has been part of Canada’s culture; not only because of its beauty, but because it’s also a season when everyone helps together and keeps each other warm; a trait, I’m proud to say, of a Canadian. I’ll never cease to appreciate the natural beauty of Canada, along with its abundant natural resources. The fact that I live in a country surrounded by so much beauty, not only beauty from nature, but also beauty from people’s hearts; leave me nothing else but a thankful heart.
