This is one of my favourite spots for gazing at the lake and the sky and just being.
Lately, it has been a favourite spot for summer picnics and kids with a spray can.
At first, I was cross because the graffiti spoiled the perfection of the smooth stones against the blue sky.
But then, it reminded me of a saying I read somewhere.
Write your worries in the sand and your joys in stone.
For more joys, please visit: Skywatch.

Dear Fi, sometimes the unexpected can create beauty.;) I guess this truly combines nature and art.;)
I am back from my absence and am looking forward to new posts by you, full of poetic words and stunning photography,

Native American petroglyphs etched in stone and pictographs celebrate life and make great subjects for photography as well:

Good advice, but so easy to disregard. Our worries become stones around our necks, dragging us down, rather than washing away with the changing tides.
I’d hate the graffiti, too. I think the secret is to love the beauty that is, and not pine for what is not. To do otherwise gives the destroyers too much power.

Beautiful — I ‘d prefer if people didn’t take the stone part of that saying literally though. Unless the stone is in their own backyard. (I’m sure I am too rigid in my thinking sometimes.)
