Enjoying listening rather than looking

 It was a strange exercise for me. To listen to the creek as it flowed gently over a few rocks. I wanted to keep clicking my camera. I wanted to swing my head up down and around to see everything.

 But I was on a listening adventure. Rather neat to hear two creek voices - one downstream where water hit rocks in a shallows, and upstream where it tumbled down over small cascades from above my head's height.


Where I sat...just a quiet place beside the stream.

Moss growing along the bank.

Looking down to where I put my chair on the right behind the slanting tree, from the bridge.

Some clarification of directions to trails for newcomers. I felt quite alone while sitting there before churches were out on Sunday. But the parking lot was full when I left. Glad to move through town easily and back home again.



Today's quote:

By harnessing the power of your imagination, you can realize your dreams.

    1. Ha ha. I did have my ears flapping about. It's funny how different tones come through stronger...but since many friends have hearing aids, I understand that certain levels are lost and need a bit of umph of help. Maybe soon meself.
