Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.
~ Henry David Thoreau
The music. Because it’s been a while.
Life in the Bogs 
Wow, this is a beautiful shot, Robin. It is so serene.
Thank you, YB. 🙂
Love the color and texture of the water.It looks like velvet.
Thanks, Marcie. I thought so, too.
I know how that leaf feels.
Peaceful and floating, BMom? Or worn out and drowning? (Today is one of those days when I’m feeling like the latter choice.)
I want to be the leaf right now.
That’s very Zen-like of you, Biz.
Nice. Very wabi-sabi.
Thank you, Bo. I’ve been thinking a lot about things wabi-sabi lately.
I love the silky smooth fluidity of this one between the bright highlights and deep dark contrasts. Great quote; beautiful music. Hadn’t heard of her or her music before. Thanks.
Thank you, Norm. 🙂
Beautiful, Robin!
This would have been a great possibility for “Water” in the recent scavenger hunt!
Thank you, Joan. 🙂
