Sitting quietly, doing nothing,
Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.
Lao Tzu
Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day.

    I really like the reflections in your first photo. The tree growing in the sky is neat. But the reflection of that golden sky in the water of your second photo is simply gorgeous.
