Do you ever favour something so much that you want to save it - the best for last, in a sense? Perhaps the magazine you must read entirely before anyone else paws through it? Or a best-loved book that you hoped could be your own special copy?
As a kid, I did this regularly with food on my plate - mashed potatoes and gravy at family dinners, partly because I‘d scooped out a little moat and filled it with Mum‘s great gravy. And French fries when we ate out, guarded against sneaky sibling thievery - still my weakness; the French fries, I mean . (No comment on what this quirk might say about me.)
This photo was taken during an earlier fall drive up the Flathead Valley. Ninepipes Reservoir's shining waters beckoned me to stop and see what there was to see, which included a mystically shifting sunset, for starters (and dessert). I first walked out on the little pier in the fishing pond next to the parking lot. Trout were rising, leaving concentric rings to ripple a different surface section every few minutes. The dusk-shaded depths of the water were intense, with the last of the fish rings fading on the edges. It was so pervasively peaceful.
So, I savoured this favourite photo, keeping it all to myself for a few weeks.
But today is a good day to share.
Happy Friday.
(But the French fries are still all mine - unless you've got a bite of something else good to trade!)

“So it is with life.
Those thorns, the prickly problems of
life, cause us to strive to rise above them and then, as we do, we learn.
We
learn to exercise true compassion, true kindness - or the thorns, if we let
them, cause us to brood, to mourn over our trials. Then we plant the seeds of
bitterness, hate, and ruin - weeds.
We may reach up for the rose or down to the
weeds...the weeds in life that tangle us, strangle us, and cause us to lose
hope.” - James Michael Pratt

Wetlands Sunset, Nine Pipes Reservoir - Charlo, Montana

(Well, there was the intermittent whinging mosquito whine. And a couple no-see-um unaware inhales. But other than that, blissfully peaceful.)
