Calm and Reflective

Reflections at Arapaho Bend Nature Area
Reflections at Arapaho Bend Nature Area

Had to make a couple trips to Windsor so I took County Road 5 rather than the Interstate. It’s a slower paced 2 lane road and a lot less traffic. On Monday I saw 7 hawks and on Tuesday I saw 4 of them. They always cause me to smile as they are so majestic. Each day for them is about survival. Seems like a simpler life than mine. I have much to learn from them. The water was calm and reflective at the Arapaho Bend Nature Area. 

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    What a coincidence. I had very similar contemplations yesterday as I finished work and looked out the window into the front yard and saw a Kookaburra sitting on the fence, looking rather regal and carefree. Brought a smile to my face too and thought along the same lines as you.
    Wonderful photo by the way. Looks awesome spun 90° clockwise, but that might just be me 🙂

    Taking the slow way is the right way, as far as I’m concerned, Monte. I have my Google Maps permanently set to “Avoid Highways” unless absolutely necessary. If you ever see a Kookaburra along your route I hope you’ll get a picture of it! 😉
