A Hiker and A Frog

Do I have to "hop off the straight and narrow whenever I can and take the winding paths, in order to experience the exhilaration of the view from the edge?"


So I hop like a frog, but I am really not, thus I settle down to walk like a man again.


Interestingly, I manage to enjoy beauties while staying in the straight and narrow, without taking any winding paths, and without hopping.


The beauties stay straight in front of me, all the time. No tricks, and no hide and seek.


A hiker may not necessary be a frog.

    Lepiej już nie baw się w żabę, bo nie potrzeba. Sam widzisz jakie masz piękne zdjęcia chodząc prostą drogą. Pozdrawiam.
    You'd better not play with a frog, because I do not need. You see what you have beautiful pictures of walking the straight path. Yours.

    You can see a lot in the woods even if you stay on the straight and narrow path with your feet. As long as your eyes roam around! (And you see so much beauty! Thanks for sharing it.)

    A frog has to hop, but you can hop, walk, crawl, and run without much thought.

    So true, if we stay on a certain path and walk slowly, we will see more. It's hard to discover the beauty in the little things without stopping to look. Beautiful photos! Thanks for posting and blessings, Nancy

    Beautiful effects of light on colour. I can't decide on a favourite - i like the last for it's simplicity and composition, the second for the textures and patterns and the first for it's drama and contrast.
