There is a park down the hill from my house that I frequent; the good citizens have funded a path that goes around a golf course and it is a good walk to visit with neighbors or just watch the senora's whose husbands have the poor judgement to play golf. Nancy creek runs through the park and the first image is of a riffle that I have looked at for twenty something years, hence Permanence: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DoryG/PAW2012A/January27/permanence.jpg.html Second is a Sycamore tree that has outlasted a stone wall, golf cart trails, walking paths and the ravages of flooding: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DoryG/PAW2012A/January27/Persistance.jpg.html Last for this week is across from the Sycamore; Atlanta is sitting on the edge of the Appalachian mountains as well as some very ancient volcanoes. Looking at the waves in the water I could also see the layers of granite from some very long past eruption. Something to contemplate when buffeted by contemporary to and fro. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DoryG/PAW2012A/January27/waves+past+and+present.jpg.html Stand and be counted, but stand as the willow or bamboo: give with the vagaries of wind and storm but come back to your principles when the storm passes. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
