The Quiet Center

Life Happens, My Daily Gratitude, , , , , , , , 1 Comment

It’s a rare lazy Sunday for me.

They say photography is being in the right place at the right time. They also say the best camera is the one you have in your hand. So, here are a few shots, just outside these window, here at our family lakehouse…all of them with my trusty old iPhone 4.

I’m grateful for this place that has become a part of my own “quiet center.”

  1. Gorgeous photos! I was wondering the same thing yesterday (about cameras and photos) while taking photos walking through the Otway National Park, Victoria, Australia. Good point – the best camera is the one you have in your hand. Your photos are proof of that. Enjoy a wonderful quiet and healing holiday Eric.
