"The beginning of wisdom is the same as its attainment: wonder. The truest statement in the world is 'you never know.' There is always something to evoke wonder, to wonder about, because this world, this life, this universe, this reality is far more than just the sum of its parts. Even the slightest detail contains much more. The overwhelming awe and wonder we feel teach us more than we can ever glean or come to know of things. In the presence of that wonder, the head has no answers and the heart has no questions." - Richard Wagamese, "Embers: One Ojibway's Meditations", p. 99.
One of the things I love about so many of the photos you all post on Flickr is that they evoke a sense of Wonder in our world, right down to a macro of the smallest insect!
Press the "L", its much much better.... You'll thank me later ;)

This was actually pretty tough to get the piece falling like this, but I caught it about 4 times and just went with this one. Had to rush just a little bit, the Dolphins are beating Alya's Patriots right now and we are a house divided...haha
Anywho.... Enjoy. Hope I made you proud Scott. Nice topic today.

Wisdom Path is a little known tourist attraction on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. The 260 word prayer is on 38 wooden rectangular beams. The beams are in the shape of a figure eight to represent infinity. If anyone knows how to read Chinese, please tell me what that says : )

Green Sea Turtle
Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge
07/18/2015
There is a lot of wisdom in a sea turtle of this size. She knows the best places to lay eggs and how to time the tides so that her hatchlings have the best opportunity to survive. She will haul her massive frame out of the water several times during a breeding year and lay a clutch of approximately 100 eggs each time.
If you have barnacles growing on your head, you've got a tough life. But you can make it easier for them. Sea turtle nesting season has begun in Florida, so be extra careful on the beaches and don't disturb any nesting females you might see.
