Whenever we travel beside a stream, stillness is usually not attainable. The flow of the water, duck paddling along, or the rustle of trees nearby keep life moving.
Stillness along the Lewis 7 Clark Trail.
But on this day in 2013, we stopped along the Lewis and Clark Trail, Highway 12, for a brief moment . . . just to take in the quiet. Stillness can be golden.

I like the reflections in the water.
Oh, the Places We See
Thanks so much. It was one of those moments when I said to Bert, “Find a place to pull over. We’ve got to take this picture!” Best wishes for seeing all the goodness in life!

Thanks for the comment on the reflection. I loved that spot along the highway. And I haven’t been to your site in a while. Headed there now!

Beautiful. Very still and serene.

Thanks so much for the comment, Miriam. It was one of the “Pull over, Bert — there’s a picture here!” moments!!!

Gorgeous photo and like the stillness can be golden !
Oh and I once heard that stillness can be dangerous – to sheep – like someone said that the psalms which talk about how God leads us safely along still waters – heard a teacher say that some animals would be fooled by the calm – something like that
Oh, the Places We See
Thanks for the comment and the info I didn’t know — that stillness can be dangerous. You make a good point, though.

Well i recently learned it myself – and it made sense – but u are right about the beauty – especially with reflections – 😉

Absolute stillness is rare and yet so beautiful, especially with the sun shining and reflections within the water.
Oh, the Places We See
Thanks so much for commenting. The scenery in this part of the country is majestic. Would love to return this fall.
