Buds can weather ice and snow.
Dark gives way to sunlight’s glow.
Strength and stillness help us grow.”

This is the Trail?

https://livingpraying.com/z5rs57pq When I want to do deep thinking, I head for quiet spaces, walk one of the trails through the wilderness. I do some of my most productive thinking here, walking alone. In this deep stillness.

it gets farther and farther away.
Today, walking alone, I meet it everywhere I step.
It is the same as me, yet I am not it.
Only if you understand it in this way
Will you merge with the way things are.

Gold Poppies

Buy Valium Toronto Poppies in Arizona © 2012 Bo Mackison

https://www.parolacce.org/2024/09/18/a5r60prlqw There are times when I have a photograph and I just want to play. Explore new techniques. Add and subtract, soften the focus, sharpen the focus. Experiment with colors, saturation, a different crop. It’s similar to coloring outside the lines in a coloring book, then making the sky yellow and the trees turquoise. Usually, when I change a photo extensively, I don’t keep the results. I just enjoy the process.

https://trevabrandonscharf.com/72ncmst2b5 But once in a while, I like the result. And so I not only have a few hours of play, experimentation, exploration, I also have a fun photograph for my portfolio.

Beach Boardwalk

Order Valium Online Europe Sometimes it is enough to look out on a vast body of water and let the senses absorb the space. It is enough to walk along the boardwalk, aware of each step as the walkway shifts under my weight. It is enough to be at the edge of the shore when the sun rises in the East.

Branch in Stricker's Pond

https://technocretetrading.com/0v43x31 Fitting that I end the alphabet, and the year, with a contemplative photograph. I have a folder of photographs I refer to as my Zen photos, photographs I re-visit when I want to focus, settle the voices in my head, and calm my mind. This pond is only a few blocks from my home in Wisconsin. It is the pond I walk around from mid-spring through early winter. I’ve captured the pond in all seasons, in all kinds of weather, and at various times of the day.

https://boxfanexpo.com/kgvft08 I have photographs of the pond when it is home to Canada geese, egrets, herons, and wood ducks. I have photos when half of the pond is a white and green carpet of American lotus in blossom. But this is my favorite photograph from all of my walks – a broken branch in shallow water, shifting in the soft light from a disappearing sun. It is a late summer evening.

https://www.drcarolineedwards.com/2024/09/18/mc12ctcl I take a few deep breaths, focus my attention on the lines, the colors, the beauty in the simplicity. I am thankful.
