It has been a while since I strolled along the Charles River Esplanade.
It’s that time of year when I feel I can become lost in the water because the low sun is so bright and the reflections so sharp. Very little breeze (thank goodness) and so the water becomes a near perfect mirror.
For me, I stopped worrying about finding the perfect shot though I did have an agenda before I embarked on my walk.
I let go of that agenda and just accepted the beauty that was around me.

After making that necessary mistake of viewing the morning’s headlines, and after letting my blood pressure return to normal, I decided not to stew in negativity but to find a way to produce positivity.

p.s. The origin of the image … one Sunday I needed to walk, so I walked by the river, and these branches are what I saw.
