Description
I watched him for the better part of thirty minutes. Truth is, he was probably watching me. Smiles. I had my shutter speed set for fast action, and was ready for him to take flight. I thought. What I ended up with, instead of a picture of him in flight, was his coming in for a graceful landing on the water. Such elegance, with not a care in the world! Isn’t that what we all want... To be graceful, elegant, with not a care in the world, coming in for a graceful landing. I think we could all probably learn a lot from this guy.
From Patrick Henry Lake in the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Tennessee, this photograph resonates with those who seek elegance and simplicity in life. It's a reminder that, like this beautiful creature, we all yearn for grace and smooth sailing. The print is perfect for individuals who appreciate the beauty of nature, those who enjoy daily inspiration, and anyone who finds solace in the tranquil moments of life's journey.

For being so awkward on land, it sure is graceful in the water, and you've captured it beautifully Shelia!
