I shot that photo during our latest trip to Maine. My family had walked ahead a bit and I watched them as they carefully hopped from one tree stump step to the next. The water was still ice-cold since it was mid-spring so our little one was a bit hesitant at first about falling in. I remember my husband telling her “It’s okay. Just go slow and be patient…you can do it!”
While researching nature quotes this week, I read one that reminded me of that day & this particular image I captured…and it’s a wonderful reminder to slow down a bit. Great advice for all of us in this hectic world we live in:
