So for this round I had a lovely, poetic encounter with Ruthless Crab who is very talented and creative photographer - her photostream is a definite must see.

Her challenge to me was . . .

Today is Robert Burns Day (or at least it still is over here in Canada). So I looked through some of his poetry for inspiration. This snippet stood out for me:

"Reader, attend! whether thy soul

Soars fancy’s flights beyond the pole,

Or darkling grubs this earthly hole,

In low pursuit:

Know, prudent, cautious, self-control

Is wisdom’s root. "

My challenge to you is to show us a photo that conveys the concept of "wisdom".

I like a bit of poetry and a bit of tradition and usually celebrate Burns Night so this was great for me.

But . . . it was much harder than I expected as I struggled for a decent idea. In the end I settled on this concept.

UPDATE - Explored #330, thanks all for the kind words, comments and faves.
