Just like Frodo and Sam, I’m heading up a mountain.
Unlike Frodo and Sam, I’m not going to meet Arwen 😕
The guy at 4 Square told me that it’s about a three hour round trip to the Mt John observatory. Let’s see about that…

There are flowers down by the lake that have grown up from between the rocks and pebbles. They’re thriving.
Why shouldn’t I go about my life in the same manner, relentlessly seeking to grow? Stubbornly existing in my own way.
I have the ability to think and I would choose to waste it on doubt, frustration and anger? It seems a shame.

In the following clip, a second bird flies right into the middle of the shot. I didn’t see it and so cut the clip when I did.
As I looked up, the bird dove into the water and came up with a fish larger than itself. The fish struggled, the bird lost its grip and it came away without a catch.
Initially, I was disappointed that I didn’t capture the event, but I took it as a great reminder to observe things for myself as well.
