  4. It must have been quite breezy when you took this shot, there are so many tiny ripples on the water which you captured perfectly and which create such wonderful reflections. Lovely.

  7. In Japanese, we have the phrase of similar meaning "ichigo ichie." Treasure every meeting (with people, with nature) as if it were the first and the last one. We can’t experience the exactly same thing.

    I like this photo. I feel my fatigue being washed away. Thank you, Karen.

  9. What a beautiful capture Karen, looks like a very peacyful place to go to.

    About our water, the water system here in Weirton had a weeklong problem with the piping. It was horrible.
