A peaceful moment for you today

How I go to the woods

Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone, with not a single
friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore
unsuitable.

I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds
or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of
praying, as you no doubt have yours…

If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love
you very much.”

The photos of the scenic National Park and the gem colored lakes within. The lovely poem resonates, with the place and my heart.

Thank you, for posting the link.

A later one is Hauser playing with Plitvice was his stage and background. Looks like it is a really beautiful place. Just curious how things sometimes mesh at the same time.

My dearest friend, who passed last Feb., was from Croatia. She used to tell me about these lakes, it's nice to see what they look like though I'm sure the pictures don't do them justice as with many breathtaking landscapes.
