Quiet Lake

Only in quiet waters do thing mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world.

Hope you had a great Fourth!

I love the quote, and the pictures that accompany it are beautiful.

Michele said...

Oh nice... I have seen them out there but never had a chance to photograph them but even if I did, they would not come out half as nice as yours!

Cedar ... said...

what's under there? maybe a large mouth bass just waiting to jump on your hook? But probably just laughing at the lure and saying "you can't fool me!" :)

They're so perfect they almost look artificial! There's a pond not to far from here covered with white and pink Lilies. Such a delight to see!

Very nice photos Shelley! Maybe this week will bring quiet back to the parks and lakes...ha ha. They were packed with families and friends and the smell of hamburgers on the bar-b was everywhere!! Hope you had a good one!
