Sand Pond, Camp NoBeBoSco

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 23 July 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This is the view of Sand Pond from Price Lodge (see previous post) at Camp NoBeBoSco near Blairstown, New Jersey. The life guard tower and floating docks can be seen in the background. Just as I was making this photograph, a large group of scouts came running past me at full throttle. That particular evening, the camp organized some games on the A-Field (short for Assembly Field) for the older scouts. One of the games was "Where's Waldo". So, naturally, many of them came up to me asking if I was Waldo. Nope....sorry. I understand that our troop won that game. Way to go, Troop 367!!!

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
