Baby Grass

This here is a lush, soft and delicate patch of baby grass! I noticed it one chilly morning as I was riding my bicycle. I realised that the last time I had taken a good look at the area was when there was a building site plonked straight on top of it. Basically, all the existing grass had been removed and all that was left was an extremely muddy and bare looking plot. After a rainwater removal system had been constructed, the builders then planted grass seeds in the dirt and covered the area with dry straw. Residues of this straw can still be seen in the picture below. The simple and humbling presence of baby grass struck a chord in me. It had taken me over a month to notice that there was new life emerging right underneath my eyes. I realised that I had been blind to the macro-scaled movements of life around me. Seeing the baby grass made me feel like I was apart of something bigger. It had momentarily stripped away the walls that had been confining me to an insular life. I think I should seek out more of these moments.


Note: Sorry for being AFK, my mum took the camera with her on a week long ski trip and I missed so many good opportunities for photo taking! Like grabbing pictures of the new baby ducks walking around campus :(
I'll make up for it with two posts in a row :3
