Sorry I haven’t been around much lately, but my book, The Bellman Chronicles, will be FREE to download on Sept. 10 – 11! Check it out on my Amazon Kindle page.. You won’t be disappointed. And if you can slip me a review, I’d be forever grateful…
Wonderful Hook! Wish you all the best with the promotion and sales! I am afraid i don’t do reviews. i try my best to stick to travel related stories.
Beautiful!

I’m with you on this, “I’m a free spirit.
I believe I’m here on earth to admire and enjoy it.” Fun and beautiful photo!
Oh yes you are IT! Your feel good posts are all about admiring and enjoying what the earth has to offer 🙂
hi Madhu,
oh yes, to hold a hand into the river – makes feel free!
Like your music teacher and his fish concert! Can never forget that image Frizz! 🙂
Who amongst us hasn’t done that? A photo to generate empathy without a doubt.
I hadn’t done that in years, and hence that delight I guess 🙂
Great image and I can imagine being right in your spot doing the same thing!
I am sure you would 🙂 Thank you Susan!

Oh, thank you Stephen! I was quite touched by that quote as well. That is truly how i feel!
Great “free spirit” moment!
Yes, I guess it says more about that trip than any words 🙂
Oh yeah. You. Magic entry for the theme. laughing with the sheer simplicity & truth of it!
Frankly, I didn’t have anything else 🙂 Glad it worked!

Nothing I like better than trailing those fingers… You too!
Yes, me too 🙂 There is something about being on the water that makes you feel carefree!

Yes, and the thrill of remembering all those times I had done this when we lived by the river!! Thanks Lynne 🙂
Madhu, this is a PERFECT photo for this topic. I love the symbolism in this picture–of dipping your proverbial toe into the waters of life!
