I had some time this afternoon to do a short hike near our place. There is a small creek and a hill nearby where I like taking a stroll when ever I have the time. I take my camera along with me because I know there will always be an opportunity waiting to present itself.
As expected, I happen upon a fitting subject. It seems I cannot pass up a Dandelion without taking at least a half dozen images. I can remember as a child picking these seed heads and like making a wish, blowing all the little seeds into the wind. After looking over all the images from the day, I settled on this image in B-W.
While wandering along the path to The Creek, my thoughts drifted as they always do. I pondered the question, "Would I want to pass away sooner and leave behind all my friends and those I love?" Or, "Would I wish to live a long and healthy life only to see all my friends and those I love pass away. And then be buried by strangers who never knew or cared about me?" Neither of these choices are very appealing. A rhetorical question to be sure .
