In Still Water

We cannot see
our reflection
in running water.
It is only
in still water
that we can see.
...Zen Proverb

After a good rain last night, I went for a walk today with my 3 grand boys, ages 9,7 and 5. There are a lot of paved walking trails in Folsom. It was a pretty day and great fun.

My oldest grand boy is impressed with my photographs and never complains when I stop to capture something, even if he doesn’t see what I see. He makes me feel so good and I am a “genius” in his 9 year old eyes! I was showing him how to pick up the reflection in the water. Maybe he will take up my love of photography one day?

Love those Folsom trails. We are lucky to have so many places to enjoy a walk. I hope your grandson takes up photography. He certainly has a good teacher. Love the color and reflection in the photo.
