One thing about the place I went to shoot Eagles, there were plenty of tree branches to intrude into my photos.....

Another solid barrel from a big January Honolua swell.

We like to complain about the obstacles in our life but ironically, we value the beauty of their diversity when they are not in our way. www.pietschy.de/obstacles/

a hiking path

Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park , California

 

To those who are concerned, this is the shot after I came across the bridge as Michael suggested. Although I like `Bobesh's idea of removing the bridge using the log to pass, if 1blessedmom is there to take the photo. Not sure what the grumpy old stroll who lives under the bridge will think if the bridge is removed.

...but there's always a way through them.

74/366: Obstacles

 

A waterfall at Stone Creek Park in Flower Mound travels its way though many obstacles, including large boulders, to make its way downstream and eventually into the lake.

 

Just like in life we maneuver our way around obstacles and head towards our goals. We may fall, like a waterfall, but we always have to keep flowing, keep pursuing and keep dreaming. Life is ever changing like the water in a creek, some days we are high and some days we are low – but the force of life must keep us going down the path of happiness.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.

 

Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

 

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been.

 

The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.

 

The peasant learned what many of us never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
