Last week I was out leading a tour group across some cold and windy battlefields in Belgium and France.  I came home, though, to somewhat warmer weather and the thought that perhaps spring was now arriving for real.  I may be speaking too soon, but for what it’s worth, today’s picture shows a spring scene – sun playing off the water of the lake and the small fountain, and a bench with a view, perfectly framed between two lakeside trees.  To me, it has always seemed like a rather inviting place to stop, and rest a while.
