Tree and Shadow

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 28 December 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This is an image from my archives that I shot a few years ago that has become one of my favorite wintertime scenes.

"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."
- Zen Buddhist Text
