Hiking to Laverty Falls. Fundy National Park. New Brunswick, Canada.
I can’t believe it’s Thursday already. This week has flown by so quickly that I hardly noticed it.

Fiery dragonfly
You can find it in the little things.

A fairy house. (Fundy National Park, New Brunswick, Canada.)
Imagination is the eye of the soul.

Enlightened flower
Like the Guatama Buddha, I went out and sat under a tree. It wasn’t a Bodhi tree and I didn’t sit as long or come away as enlightened, but I did learn a thing or two.

Church steeple in Akron, Ohio.
The closer I get to the end of this commitment, the less I am in the mood to work on a blog post. I feel as though I’ve already put in most of the hard work, and now I just want to coast on in to the finish line.
352: Photo shoot

The glamour shot
With all the models posing in the meadows, I thought it time to do a real photo shoot. Over the past couple of days I’ve spent a few hours outside with the Praying Wotsits. (Thank you, Brian, for supplying me with a good name for these strange creatures.)

We had another bout of heavy rain in the wee hours of the morning, and then later this afternoon. Remnants of Lee, I think. But the rain we’ve received here in the Bogs is nothing compared to what they’re getting back east where they surely don’t need it.
