A Day At Lake Livingston By Cameron Snider

A quaint aroma of pure harmony and happiness is abroad the marvelous lake designed by years of change. It is a therapeutic retreat hidden from the world we entertain. Soft winds caress your neck as one nears the out-lying woods that surround this satisfaction achieved dwelling. As soon as the beautiful trees with fall colors start to dispel their leaves, it is as if a blanket is covering the forest for a nice nap. There is a road with winding turns, telescopic passageways, and marvelous tunnels to enter the lake. Mirroring the gates of heaven, this is by far the closest thing on earth one will find near that sensation. After the passageway of parade-inspiring colors, one finds the opening to euphoria. It instantly allows someone to see slow sloping depressions covered by tanzanite colored water. Might The water is as still as a cell phone when it is turned off. The air is fragrant with honeysuckles, pine, and grass. For some un-answerable reason, one feels that a whisper tone is mandatory to maintain the perfect cohesion with the outdoor temple. Vegetation is all along the bank with fruit producing vines in astonishing numbers. Birds are flying making their presence known by beautiful songs. Squirrels are running abroad looking for acorns, and the trees feel nice enough to share. Hummingbirds are hovering consistently over the honeysuckle bushes. Woodpeckers are knocking out a tune in stereo surround sound. A simple toss of nutrients into the water brings groups of fish giving their salutations. Towards the dock floats a boat. This is not the everyday boat you expect, but a silent eco-friendly boat, controlled and powered by man. To aid in the tranquility a shade is atop the marvel of water floatation. This allows endless hours of seeking life’s most treasured views. One is be reminded of the outside looking in quote, but now you are on the inside looking out. As one treads atop the tanzanite liquid and hears

    The town I grew up in is located near Lake Ontario in a quickly growing town, Grimsby, Ontario, Canada. Grimsby was founded in 1790 and was originally called “Number 6” and then “The Forty”. The name “The Forty” was made by United Empire Loyalists who set up camp at the centre of Forty Mile Creek who traveled from New Jersey to Canada for a better life. Their camp was set up at the centre of Grimsby which later on became a part of the downtown core. Waterfalls were the power source for mills to saw wood and grind wheat. A large pond at the end of the creek served as a harbour. The city did not become industrialized until the mid 1800’s, by the 1900’s most of the town consisted of farm equipment factories, carriage builders, hospital furniture…

    My first view of the river makes me breathless. Shallow water washes over the road’s cement pavement. Men, women, and kids break the river’s flow; some sit in fold-up chairs and read a book, but most others are leaning back in a colored tube floating the slow water. A giant cypress tree waits patiently by the road; two large nails pin a rusted metal sign to it, warning visitors of state rules and regulations. Every river crossing has the same sign posted the closet tree. The tree’s familiar sight and significance still makes me excited, because I finally feel summer vacation starting. However, the sight also makes me impatient for we don’t start tubing until the second day. I never…

    The smell of the flowers gives off a calming effect. The birds occasionally swoop past and there is a gentle breeze coming through the trees. Some people are walking their dogs. The dog’s fur is a soft pillow that cushions a person while they sleep. The dog’s nose is moist and cold. The asphalt is nice and smooth. There are no cracks or bumps and it adds to the surrounds. The sunlight comes through the trees creating patterns on the ground. The sunlight’s heat is gentle and not too hot. The whole park is clean and family friendly. It is an atmosphere perfect for enjoying any day of the week.…

    In my earlier years my family took me camping to a lake. My cousins came as well, which made it even more enjoyable. When we arrived at the campsite, I was in awe. It was something out of a Disney movie. There were towering pine trees shielding us from the sun’s rays. Wild plants and bushes surrounded our campsite, but not too far away was a clearing in the bushes where we can see the lake in all its glory. People were fishing, kayaking, swimming, and playing with their dogs.…

    Nature is an important element for the Zen Buddhist as it is said to aid with meditation that can achieve enlightenment. The ultimate place for this mediation is a Zen garden. These gardens are a Buddhist art expression that focuses on nature. However, the garden is almost entirely made of stone and gravel, with almost no plant life at all. In this essay I will discuss a brief history of the role of nature in Buddhism, explain why the stones and gravel in the Zen Garden are so important and describe, in detail, the finest Zen Garden example that is Ryoanji Dry Garden in Japan. I have personally visited Ryoanji three times.…

    E.B. Whites, “Once More to the Lake”, is about the author and his son going on a fishing trip to Maine. Throughout the fishing trip E.B white recalls his own childhood at the lake, he unavoidably sees himself in his son and is brought to awareness of his own mortality. This evocative writing deals with time: its delightful past, its pleasant present, and its tragic future. This writing, affectionate in tone, shows that White needs to reconnect with this lake before he too, passes on. One descriptive word choice that White used that stood out was, “this holy spot” (White 158), this shows that White viewed this lake as a nearly sacred place, sacred because it represents; life and childhood and change and endings. This writing also makes me think of Chuck E. Cheese, a place that has the same special significance to me as the lake had to E.B. White.…

As soon as i came out of temple and started to look around my eyes stuck on one hill and it was so lovely and coincidently the name of the hill was lovely danda itself (As said by the local people). Now from Bindhabashini temple i headed towards sarangkot another beautiful place of pokhara. I went to this place by walking and was lovely experience for me. I was excited too see the people doing paragliding. I also wanted to do the paragliding and I did that too. From that great height I started to fly and I landed on the great field in the place called pame , lakeside. This was tourist spot of pokhara. This place was called lake side because it was at the side of the great lake called phewa lake or phewa taal. There was a beautiful temple called taal barahai on the middle of lake.
