When life gets a little crazy, I like to be able to draw up to my memory those glimpses of external peace and natural beauty. I have several etched into my mind: lying on a sea kayak floating in on the Chickamauga Lake in Soddy Daisy, TN, a stream crossing on the Firey Gizzard trail along the Cumberland Plateau, and the blue hole at Mowbry Park and pocket wilderness outside of Chattanooga. Each of these has people and life phase and emotions attached to them and they represent a respite in the midst of turbulence, whether an emotionally charged summer of unrequited love, a really strenuous 20 mile day hike, or a break from a long semester in college. There are others, but those three are strongest in my collective. I believe this photo represents another memory that will stick.

ReplyDeleteA wonderful moment between mom and son! I like this picture, and even though I'm usually all for untouched beachscapes, I actually like these tire tracks in the sand!
