...With a Paddle. A cloudy day to diffuse the light, along the south shore to drop the wind to nil, and light floating a kayak to remove hull ripples, makes even a moderate Smartphone photo look okay. The mass of tiny white flowers on this bush caught my eye as I approached it while fishing with my son this week. My wife and I have never found any activity with the ability to calm as kayaking does, and I hope you get a little peace from this capture as we do. Sweetbriar Creek, south-central North Dakota.

'Nik', I think you paused your paddling to avoid disturbing the smooth mirror image by your kayaking activity. The lack of any breeze was helpful to you. The result is a beautiful and soothing photograph.
The white flowers are a bonus!
I can confirm your wish/hope from the last sentence in your narrative.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
