Path Of Life

[Translate] Yesterday I had a wonderful time exploring Weldon Springs in Clinton, Illinois with my better half.  The original shot to the left, taken with Nikon D60,  just reminded me of the so many trials and tribulations that we face as we go through life.  It’s a narrow path on which we walk and though we may not know it at the time each and every step on that road is symbolic of another accomplishment.  … Read entire article »
