As I watched the boat woman paddling the boat gently behind the lens, the thought of comparing the paces of life between me and her came to my mind. And while continuously pressing the shutter thinking that I might lose her while she slowly paddled the boat, I attentively watched how she paddled gracefully and enjoy the calm waters of the lake which of course I rarely do. The lush and beautiful scenery around her which she is gifted with and which I see only when I have the time. She seems like not minding the time of the day which I must be always aware of. Well probably these are just the things that differentiates life in the countryside and the city. There's just some things that we can't have, the boat woman's life may be simple but I can say that's she's more blessed than me.
This is my entry for Watery Wednesday. Thank you for viewing.

Its living in a carefree world. No worries and the feeling of content. I envy her.
The water is so calm and so serene!
I agree with Ebie, somehow water can make us feel relax and calm. Happy Wednesday!

Such a restful picture, filled with gentleness. I understand what you are saying, and I have to agree. Her life is peaceful or at least it seems to be. But then again, so is yours! :-)
I could relate to your sentiments. I've been spoiled by all the rush of city life.
Where did you find this shot. Superb.
at least she doesn't worry about gas and toll fee.:p
if only we can live simpler lives.
row row row, row your boat, the first song I learn in primary 1, Still remember it, and am teaching my students,
What a lovely, peaceful scene. On the surface her life appears relaxed but perhaps once she steps out of the boat she is as busy as the rest of us.
Oh, so peaceful! Lovely.
It looks lush and tranquil. A beautiful way to get from point A to B.
