Thanks Shokai!

It's a park near my house. I love to go walking early on Sunday mornings and sometimes I get this kind of pictures.

Very relaxing place to be.

Enso, Zen in everything.

A boat left to decay at the local harbour.

Shohei;

Thanks for sharing the pic. You should come visit us in the banana belt sometime. I promise to show you the snow shoes I wore when I lived in Ottawa. To be honest, envy is not something I'm feeling right now. :lol: :lol:

Shortly after I set out my Rohatsu oryoki "hungry ghosts" offering, this little (well actually quite fat!) guy came along to enjoy them.

Sitting at a traffic light, looking absent-mindedly out the driver's window, this was growing out the side of a palm tree at eye level...

Re: Random Photo Thread

This is Bridal Veil Falls near Raglan on NZ's North Island, taken during our trip earlier this year.
It reminds of Shunryu Suzuki's talk "Nirvana,The Waterfall" (page 92, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind) where he talks about visiting Yosemite National Park.

"Before we were born we had no feeling; we were one with the universe. This is called "mind-only," or "essence of mind," or "big mind,"
After we are separated by birth from this oneness, as the water falling from the waterfall is separated by the wind and rocks, then we have feeling. You have difficulty because you have feeling. You attach to the feeling you have without knowing just how this kind of feeling is created. When you do not realize that you are one with the river, or one with he universe, you have fear.
Whether it is separated into drops or not, water is water.
Our life and death are the same thing. When we realize this fact we have no fear of death anymore, and we have no actual difficulty in our life.
When the water returns to its original oneness with the river, it no longer has any individual feeling to it; it resumes its own nature,
and finds composure. How very glad the water must be to come back to the original river! If this is so, what feeling will we have when we die?"
