Sunrise at the River Bend

Uploaded: June 25, 2012

Description


It was a still morning along the Sixes River, as I sat on the rocks watching the sky, with its hint of pink being reflected on the mirror-like surface. The vegetation on the river banks seemed to have an enchanting yellow-green glow in the early light. And some hardy daisies had managed to grow and bloom from between the rocks in the foreground, to further enhance the scene. It was a peaceful and calming moment there… in the thoughtful quiet of the morning.

Quote of the Day: “Now I begin to feel that all that is important comes in quietness and waiting; and that activity should be only the working out, the digesting and putting forth of what one learned, so that one may become empty again to receive more.” ~Rodney Collin
