Often we shield ourselves from the outdoors, the insects, the extremes
of weather. Yet it's the temperate places in nature we yearn for the
most, to immerse our souls in greater beings of existence, to squirrel
ourselves away from insignificant affairs, endeavoring to envision
vaster plains of consciousness.
On such a day I found myself along Turtle Creek trail in Duff Park -
a 'favorite' place. Something directed my attention to white birch
trees lined on the opposite bank and reflections below. Perhaps it was
the way the sun had illuminated 'just so'. I was glad, and snapped a
few photos.
When selecting photos to submit, I might just have overlooked it,
yet this shot was perfect for the unusual outlook I was seeking.
Favorite places are often shifting. Today I have others. I'll be back
to Duff to savor its essence again. I'll be sure to bring my camera.
