Flowering Dogwood, Green Lane Reservoir

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 1 September 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I know, it's almost autumn and I'm posting something that was shot in the spring. This sat in my "In Box" for quite a while (about a year and a half actually) until I got around to working on it. Better late than never, I say.

"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."
