Looking back, reflectively

Remember the fallen

Every once in a while, I like to dig into the archives and pull out a photo from another time.

Because there’s no rule that says photos need to be shared in real-time. And the past can often be a comforting place to visit for a bit.

So today we’re travelling back to last October, when autumn’s colours were beginning to fade, but were still worth a last look or three. So I wandered back into the woods and stared at the water for a while, hoping it would inspire me somewhat.

I don’t think it did, but I certainly enjoyed listening to the sound of the water as it flowed gently past - or through? - the fallen branch. The muted colours of the canopy above bounced off of the mirror-like surface, one last blast of the season before they, too, faded to grey.

As I write this today, that scene is gone forever. But it strangely lives on in the mind’s eye of anyone who chooses to look back. Funny how this all works.
