Wide eyed and bushy tailed

Yesterday it was pouring a whole zoo worth of animals. Today it was a lot nicer. And luckily, the seat I sat down at had a clean enough window for me to get a half decent photo. You can tell the people who ride the train all the time versus the people who are on their for the first time. New riders look out the window over the bridge with a wide eyed appreciation of how pretty the view is. Frequent riders barely look up from their cellphones. I try not to become of those people. I've been on that train two times a day most of the week since October so I could easily become one of the people that doesn't notice how pretty the trip can be. So, I try to look up. I try to look around. I try to keep my eyes fresh. Try to look at things with new eyes. Some days it's harder than others.
