Sunday Surprise

   One of my favorite photographers in the world is Steve McCurry.  There is a human story in every one of his photos, told without a single word. 

   When I discovered he had a blog, I was excited, even more so when I saw that he paired quotes with his photos from all over the world.  
 

   When there is a new posting, I usually save it until a time I can savor every photo.  This morning I sat down with my tea, ready to feast my eyes.  The subject is "One Step At a Time," and as I love to walk, I knew I was in for a treat.
  

   The third photo made me sit up and tell my cat, "Hey, I think I walked on that exact same spot last September!" 

   Here is Steve's photo (and I hope I am not breaking any copyright laws here. I'm not profiting and I'm linking to his blog, and I can't say how much I admire this man's work.).
 

"There is nothing like walking to get the feel of a country. 

A fine landscape is like a piece of music; it must be taken at the right tempo." 

- Paul Scott Mowrer

   Yes, walking is exactly the right tempo for me, to explore another country, to think, to notice, to appreciate.

   This was my photo that morning from the Thames Walk before I figured out how to get down to the water myself. There was a man and his spaniel, which was running up and down the wood and rock structure and jumped in the water for a swim.

Here is the link to Steve's blog.  Take a look.  I hope it will bring you as much enjoyment and food for thought as it does me.
