I caught this glimpse into a couple's life together - she fishes,
he sits reading, or thinking...
"I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people:
that each protects the solitude of the other."

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely spot to cherish each other's solitude.
ReplyDelete"If she doesn't catch a fish, we're gonna have to eat my words", he pondered.

ReplyDeletei love the scenery, the rocks jutting out of the water.

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I can 1) get well, 2) find the time, 3) organize everything, I am SO coming to New Zealand!
Thank you all. It was a very peaceful scene.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture and a great quote. This post made me smile. If it were my husband and myself, he would be fishing and I would have my nose in the book. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome lailani - yes, Laura said the same in her comment :)
DeleteThanks for visiting and commenting.
What a stunning moment, perfectly captured in an image and in words. If only more of us "got" this in the context of our own relationships.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Carmi. And thanks - I'm quite proud of this picture :)
