Mountain Reflection

Mountain and Lake



I love the reflection and the colors in this photograph.  The calmness of the area has been captured really well.  This photograph reminds me of soft, quiet canoe rides during childhood.  Not all canoe rides were peaceful though.  When I was about 6, my brother and I considered canoe rides to be an opportunity to challenge gravity and balance.  Our older sister took us out for canoe rides, and each of us would heave and hurl our small frames from one direction to the other, testing how far we could go while avoiding a flip and our sister's wrath.  As kids it was hard to appreciate the serenity of a scene like this, we needed adventure, or at least a little competition.  I'm not sure I can blame it solely on childhood...I can't promise that if he and were to go back today, we wouldn't be pushing each other to the edge of flipping all over again.  Unfortunately, instead of g.i. joes or penny candies, each of us probably has car keys and cellphones in our pockets
