One of my all time favorite spots in Livingston county is Kensington Metro Park! Being a nature lover, I'm constantly amazed and dazzled by the beauty of this place! I have jokingly called it "my estate", since I have found that during the week I often have the park to myself! I have two beaches, miles of walking trails, picnic areas, a water park, snack bars, boat tours (an extra charge), a nature center, and a farm center - all for the lovely price of $12.00 a year! (senior rate) Now THAT'S an estate affordable to all! The only thing missing is the mansion, but do I want to spend time cleaning indoors when I have all this beauty outside? I tell you, I feel like a millionaire with each visit!
On Monday I visited my Kensington Estate. It was gusting strong winds, but my spirits weren't chilled. At this point I'm going to let these pictures speak for me!

| Trees in muted splendor near one of the beaches |

| Ducks were beginning to swim in formation, perhaps practicing for their coming flight south? |

| One of the beautiful views from Island Road |
 |
| One of my favorite meditation spots! |
 |
| In the summer, this is a canopy of green! |
 |
| One of the Islands in the middle of the lake! |
 |
| Nature's breathtaking handiwork! |
 |
| No matter where you point the camera, there beauty is! |

As you can tell by this tree, there were strong gusts of wind!

Thank you for accompanying me on this journey of nature's beauty! On Friday I'll show you a bit more of Kensington, including the farm center! Until then, remember that life is an adventure, even when it's a bumpy ride! Until then!

Kensington is truly beautiful. I grew up there and take my daughter when I can. Thank you for sharing your memories.
