Feeling restless, I spent the afternoon wandering in Red Mountain Park. I kept wishing it would rain, or even better, storm up really big. I felt the need for something big and powerful today. And of course, I had my camera with me, just in case!
Just a few clouds, which helped keep the heat down of course, but the humidity was up. I circled the lake twice, listening to my mp3 player -- a bit of Willie Nelson: "They let me close my eyes just then those healing hands of time, And soon they'll let me sleep again those healing hands of time, So already I've reached mountain peaks and I've just begun to climb...."
I snapped a lot of pictures, even got a shot of my favorite mountain from the parking lot. (the rest are posted here )
When was the last time you spent
a quiet moment just doing nothing --
just sitting and looking at the sea,
or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs,
or waves rippling on a pond,
a flickering candle or children playing in the park?
~Ralph Marston
