A Different Take

We call it Plum Lake, and this picture tells the story why.


I took dozens of near identical sunset photos before a boat motored mid-lake, its wake exploding the view into a watery kaleidoscope.


How easy it is to focus on the negative impact a single action can have on experience – the “if only” that proceeds “it would have been perfect.”

Yet this wake had transformed my sunset view into something that was, if not better, then equally terrific, just different.

Did the boat's captain know that he'd done such a wondrous thing?
