I love to be near the ocean, a lake, a river or a pond. I enjoy the natural beauty that illuminates before me, and I find myself in awe when thinking about what is before my eyes.
One day while walking the perimeter of a lake, I saw a man in a kayak. It got me wondering, and when I went home, I did some research. Here is a post of mine (reflective of that research) from June 23, 2014, regarding Jews and Kayaking.
Water Scenics and Jewish Reflection is a post of mine regarding the Venice Canals in Venice, CA, and the ocean in Santa Monica.
The next time you are wandering near a lake, stream, river, the ocean or a pond, take a moment to reflect on the loveliness before you.

Beautiful photos and reflections! I too appreciate the beauty of bodies of water, whatever the size.
Thank you, Gabriella. xo
How lovely. My son went on a hike yesterday and shared a blurry pic with me (of the Hudson River?) as he set out. “At least you know I’m alive,” he texted. I was so happy that he got out into nature.
Thank you! How nice that your son was out into nature! And, also, that he let you know his status!
Nature is so inspiring, in so many ways.
