Shhhh.....


It matters not where I am.


There's no specific season required.


Alone is fine.
But with my love, a friend or a group...well...that works too.


The place is of no consequence.
A bustling city is fine.
Or a ball field.
A pond is always ok with me.


Though I will say
that a rain and dew drenched patch of weeds along the side of a country road
adds some magic to the stillness.


Stillness.
Calm.
Peace.
In the midst of the bustle and business it's important to me to 
be able to find quiet when I need to.
When I want to.


I'm blessed to know that there's one sure place
that I can always find
some soul soothing quiet.


Behind the lens.

Behind the lens I am in the moment.
Awake,
Aware.
The lists and noises and stresses and minutes fall away.
And I'm
just
there,
savoring the world around me.

    You can certainly tell that your quiet place is behind the lens. Your images are always so beautiful! It takes you into a quiet place just by looking at them.
