Solitude

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. ~Henry David Thoreau, 1854

A wonderful shot, I feel like I’m there. Maine is so beautiful and different than most of California.

I love Thoreau, and this shot is perfect for such words! Love that blue sky and the deeper blue of the moving water. Beautiful!

Super shot. I can feel the tranquility. It just needs my red canoe.

You have a very special blog. MB
