or the harbor of your longing, 

 and put your lips to the world. 

 And live your life.

Go To Nature

Claytor Lake State Park - Dublin, Virginia

  

To get inspiration, go to the nature; for silence, go to the nature; to question the meaning of life, go to the nature; to feel the existence, go to the nature; to protect your mind, to reach the truth, to think about the universe go to the nature!

 ― Mehmet Murat ildan

Bare Trees - Reflections

This is actually the "upside down shot"

Trees reflected in the pond.

Seeing, in the finest and broadest sense, means using your senses, your intellect, and your emotions. It means encountering your subject matter with your whole being. It means looking beyond the labels of things and discovering the remarkable world around you.

~ Freeman Patterson

Reflections

This is one of the sights I see when I walk along the Gateway Trail in Blacksburg. About a 1/4 mile or so into the trail there is a bridge that crosses a stream ( possibly Tom's Creek) and this is looking to the left off of the bridge. I've seen this sight many many times yet when I took this picture it was like seeing it for the first time. Maybe it was the lighting .... maybe it was the reflection that caught my eye .... not really sure what it was ..... but I must admit that I like that feeling .....when something routine becomes new again. Yes, I like that feeling a lot!

Choices

"Whatever choice you make makes you. 
Choose wisely.” 
 ― Roy T. Bennett 


 On a daily basis, there are hundreds of choices that we make. 
 What to wear, what to read, what to eat etc.
Included in those are our "attitude" choices.
In the past I allowed certain situations that were beyond my control dictate how I looked at other things in my life.
I CHOOSE not to do that anymore
I CHOOSE to be Optimistic
I CHOOSE to be Happy
I CHOOSE to be Caring.
Better attitude choices  - that's what I'm striving for!

Puddle Reflection

The air we breathe, 
the water we drink, 
and the land we inhabit
are not only critical elements 
in the quality of life we enjoy -
they are a reflection 
of the majesty of our Creator.
Rick Perry

Reflecting

 A place for thoughts

 By living deeply in the present moment we can understand the past better and we can prepare for a better future.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

A Leaf Reflected

“Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?”
— St. Augustine

Clouds Reflected

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. 
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
