natural and beautiful when I was young. Pollution and erosion of the shoreline have since taken a toll on the lake. 50+ years ago you could safely ride horses down the lakebank to the shore, and the fish were not all contaminated with mercury and PFAs. I recently read that 22 million pounds of plastics enter the Great Lakes each year ☹️

Our old farm is long gone; land that was once part of farms and orchards is now public park lands. Time marches on.......

Perched above rolling hills and fields of green this day
Gently caressed with love of life by a golden Setting Sun

Great catch of the sunbeams.

"The Eye of Providence (or the all-seeing eye of God) is a symbol that depicts an eye, often enclosed in a triangle and surrounded by rays of light or glory, meant to represent divine providence, whereby the eye of God watches over humanity."

Eye of Providence - Wikipedia

While I'm not "religious" I think this is neat and your photo reminds me of it.

I used to think religious and spiritual were the same thing, but as I have gotten older I've realized I am a spiritual being.

Not religious.

I am humbled to receive your kind comments.

Spiritual fits my belief system as well. Manmade religion...not so much.
