It is often my wont to have my way with nature. One of my favorite statements has been that what comes out of the camera is fodder for what happens later in the quiet of my office days, weeks, or years later.
But not always.
Sometimes it’s best to just stand aside and let Nature say it all.
Whoopie!

That highest breaking wave looks like a whoopee to me. Yee-haw!
Your euphony’ comes out in “my wont… my way.” You could extend it to “…my wont to work my will to have my way…”

Sparse speech is natural
Thus strong wind does not last all morning
Sudden rain does not last all day
What makes this so? Heaven and Earth
Even Heaven and Earth cannot make it last
How can humans? ~Lao Tzu

No matter what we do, it is only by nature’s grace that we succeed. Humans are nature but we tend to think of ourselves apart.
Timing seems perfect. Now this I am better able to relate to which says a lot about my limitations of vision. That said, I would enjoy seeing where you might take this that I can’t imagine. 🙂

Thanks very much Steve. It does us all to remember every day that we are integral part of this and had better treat the rest of nature as if every part is interdependent. And thank you very much for your compliment. Here’s my attitude about vision, or any other ability: stretch and exercise does it well, no matter what it is.

Certainly agree with Steve Gingold’s first paragraph! And your image, Michael, is wonderful, very beautiful. 🙂

Thank you very much. It does take fast reflexes. Something I learned from years of stage photography.

It’s the upward-reaching spray that makes the image. The three horizontal layers — smooth, frothy, tumbly — are familiar sights for any ocean watcher, but that spray’s a surprise: the fourth dimension that’s not often caught.
