Reflecting on life by the still water

When the planet spins fast enough to make us a little queasy, I escape by either rooting through my photo archives or grabbing the camera and making some new scenes.

I snagged this last month on a walk on a bridge over perfectly still waters on an otherwise quiet Saturday morning. This tiny snippet of shoreline has been ebbing and flowing, growing, dying, and regrowing for longer than we've been around.

Nature scenes have a way of reminding us that the universe operates on its own timeline, and we're not necessarily as adept as we should be at appreciating that simple fact.

They also remind us that this, too, shall pass. And standing on a bridge over quiet waters is a pretty good way to slow the spinning down and ease the queasiness.

Or so I'd like to believe.
