Walking By The River 09/06/2009
Went for a morning walk by the river today - camera in hand, and took lots of pictures of the sun sparkling on the ripples, brightening the leaves on the trees, and turning the still water to molten silver. When I got home I saw a message that one of my friends on facebook had headed out for a walk by her river, camera in hand. It set me to wondering how many other people around the world were out wandering by rivers, lakes or oceans. Just enjoying the breeze blowing, the sun shining, the birds flitting and just thinking...... I don't always do much thinking when I am there. Sometimes, as this morning, I am just focused on the life around me and not thinking about myself at all. Those are the times I enjoy the most. Those are the times that I connect with the natural world around me and return home feeling at peace within.  Morning Sun on the River Glimmers of morning sun rays catch the rocks and tops of the waves. I was out early one morning a few weeks ago and caught the osprey on one of their fishing trips. Looking for breakfast I guess. They graced me with their antics for quite a while, soaring overhead and watching me with cautious eyes. Got some really nice photographs of them.  Osprey Fishing They are beautiful birds, and cunning fishers. Awesome to watch them twist, turn, dive and soar around the sky through my camera lens. Rivers, lakes, streams and oceans are fantastic places to just sit and absorb all of the sounds, smells and sights around you. There is abundant life near them and always lots of activity taking place if you sit quiet and notice. CommentsTue, 08 Sep 2009 14:24:52 I keep coming back to the osprey -- haunting picture!
