There is something that draws my attention in nature and that is signs of disruption, chaos, change, growth amidst decline. Similar to the rustic decay in an urban setting, but the outdoor scenario is set in the most comfortable appealing setting for me. I am, dare I say, at one with these settings. At peace, centered and observant. For some it is a jumbled shoreline with snags, rattlesnakes gnarly trees and some water. For me it is a dozens (or more) little habitats/homes/hideouts; unique rock formations, twisted trees and an inhospitable texture that challenges my presence. All manner of critters inspect my presence. Most I don’t even see. I like that. Of course, if I happen to be wetting a line while taking all this in…well then that is the whole enchilada.

This looks like the pond behind my house! I have not been back there since the weather warmed and the ticks are thick this year! I love your favorite place!

Thank you. I especially enjoy it from the water looking in toward the shoreline. I don’t get to do that often enough of late so it always seems new and fresh. Always appreciate your visits.
