I started off walking at my leisure today, criss crossing down the hill to the old log swing. Once there and seeing the view of the lake and how it perfectly reflected the clouded sky, I was immediatley awed and loudly inhaled, as one might gasp when pleasantly surprised. I wanted to take a picture and was frustrated I left my camera at the house ; The best I could do was turn around and hurry back as fast as I could towards home to grab the Nikon. So that's what I did.
A short time later , with sore knees and labored breath, I returned to the swing to get my picture; To capture forever the natural beauty my eyes beheld.
The separation of earth and sky seemed to oblivate and melt into one. Only the slow passage of a single small boat seemed to differenciate where one ended and the other begun. I couldn't help but ponder if the captain and his crew saw what I saw, and was reminded of Field's Dutch Lullaby " Wynken, Blynken, and Nod".
