The Imaginary Scenery

Hello Everyone,

     This morning, Angel and I went for a run behind my house on a dirt trail. I call it the imaginary scenery, because it's truly that. To let you all in on my experience before I describe its true essence, I will give you all a brief run down of what I saw. First things first, there is a gorgeous row of desert trees that perfectly stack along a mile's stretch of dirt trail. The trees perfectly cast their shadows, turning their reflections into odd shapes along the path. The dirt trail is fixed with exotic rocks, and separates the animated water channel. The channel walls contain disproportional murals of artwork, as if they were intentionally set up for their first art gallery. Many birds glide down to the channel and ride its calm migrating stream. At the very end of the trail stands the majestic cliff, where the water crashes to its doom, and where Angel and I are halfway to celebrating a great run.
     The truth behind my imaginary scenery is that all of the desert trees are cased along a huge wall that separates the trail from several trucking companies, and the shadows only cover the trench that separates the trail. Therefore, the sun gets ample opportunities to display its true power of heat. The dirt trail is cluttered with rocks of all shapes and sizes, in which, I nearly twist my ankle on. The water channel is a very large gaping water runoff ditch, and is filled with mud and debris like grocery karts. The artwork along the cement walls is some very interesting graffiti; although, it looks as if some kids tried to paint their best representation of their favorite cartoons. Regardless of the displaced debris, the birds still ride down the stream of water looking for bugs to eat. The cliff is a very large gutter, with these long metal prison bars that keep large objects from intruding. Lastly, Angel was ready to sprint back home, but she periodically circled around me as if she was trying to motivate me to finish.
     Although the trail is not what it seems, I think that it is important that we all imagine what we would like our surroundings to look like, even if those pictures do not match. I still love to walk or run this trail, because it temporarily takes me out of the desert. I hope you all can create your own environment in one that is not so pleasant!
