on my walk this morning along the pond at the park where the cherry blossom trees were, i noticed this woman, sitting quietly on the ground, obviously unpertubed, despite the loud noises from the other people out to see the cherry blossoms. i stood right behind her taking shots and she didn't even budge one tiny bit; she was so deep in her meditation. but who could blame her? the sight before her was too calming.

on the other side of the water way to the right but which you can't see in this shot, is where the nest of the mute swans is located. will stalk those swans until i see their little cygnets.

thank you for your kind views and comments; i do appreciate them a lot.

What a great shot. She looks so peaceful. Too bad you can't give this to her.

Nice catch! I agree with you that it would be easy to get lost in this scene and not be aware of others around you. It's lovely.

Wonderfully serene scene, perfect spot for some 'me time'

Beautiful candid shot - this does look so peaceful though. I've yet to pluck up the courage to do candid shots

That picture is a perfect capture of what I never quite manage when I try to meditate, but I never try in a place like that.
