chill.

Posted on April 3, 2018 by beth

looking up above

watching a penguin chill

on a chilly day at the zoo.

“it’s useful to go out of this world

and see it from the perspective of another one.”

  Wow! Did you take this picture? Sweet! Certainly connects with the words … a different world’s perspective. Have a good week.

Compared to when I was a child I love the way we can watch these animals from this new vantage point. Great photo and words to accompany it… as always.

What a beautiful photograph, Beth. You found just the sweetest quote, too.
The penguin does appear to be floating like a “water angel” (instead of an angel in the snow.)
