Let's have a zen moment

The word Zen is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese word 禪, which in turn is derived from the Sanskrit word dhyana, which can be approximately translated as "absorption" or "meditative state". - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen

Here is one that I shot yesterday in Houston.

For me, it seems to occur when I am out in my canoe.. This shot is taken in Ottawa, Canada's capitol city... one of those places in town where you could convince yourself that you are way way out in the wilderness.

Find a nice spot, sit with your eyes closed, and listen to the birds and the water....

This is my 'Zen' moment, it was taken a few hours before Chinese New Year with the chaos of all the fireworks....there was no wind, noise or smoke and the water was calm....

My moment to share, a favorite image from last summer. This was taken on a warm evening, as the last of the breeze was settling down.

Of course, this doesn't happen every day, only now and... zen.
