friendship

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one.

C.S. Lewis

open

standing at this waters edge

looking in at God's own heart

I've no idea where to begin

to swallow up the way things are

everything in me is drawing in

closing in around this pain

I will lay my heart wide open

like the surface of a lake

wide open like a lake

Sara Groves, Like a Lake

freshness

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....

Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape

Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

thirsty

"Come!" say the Spirit and the Bride. Whoever hears, echo, "Come!" Is anyone thirsty? Come! All who will, come and drink, Drink freely of the Water of Life!

Revelation 22:17, The Message

This pair of swans appeared on one of the lakes I frequent. Lucky for me, they were practicing their synchronized swimming.

This is from Monday's photo walk around Mill Lake.

I didn't know that ducks have tongues. In one of these pictures, you can see the tongue. I did a google search and confirmed that ducks have tongues, and unfortunately, some people like them steamed.

More from Fish Trap Creek. A little wet and grey, but shock of all shocks, there was also a little sun. Just for the record, I saw blue sky today.
