Fragile
This time of year on my morning walks at the Lake, I often see interesting ice formations along the shoreline that have been created by the cold water & wind overnight. So delcate and beautiful they are sitting atop rocks in the morning sun…. and when I return in the afternoon, they are nowhere to be seen…...they have melted and returned to the lake, reminding me of just how precious, fleeting and fragile life is….

Fantastic capture and the story is so true. Love the end quote. More people need to realize this. Life is too short to be mad, sad, angry, or such. Live life like it is your last because no one knows about tomarrow.
