“My recollection of a hundred lovely lakes has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful.” – Hamlin Garland American author (1860-1940)

My daughter mentioned this when she told me about choosing "Lake" as the middle name for my first and only grandchild, born in June. Thank you for posting the image and including the quote, which I shared with my darling girl.

these daily Peaceful Moments. I had hoped with the orange shitgibbon gone, I wouldn't be as provoked as I am. Trouble is, he and his minions are not going away. These photographs help.

I had the same hope so we find peace in nature beyond the hate, the triggers and the rest of the venom.
