Fishing, photos, a brain on the fritz

We spent much of last week up in Island Park, ID (just a little south of West Yellowstone) impressing the visiting ILs with all the fabulous Western scenery and outdoor opportunities. DH and his dad went trout fishing (they caught three or four), and we took the girls to a kiddie pond to try their luck (for some reason, the girls' loud voices and insistence on throwing rocks in the water scared the fish away; I can't imagine why).

Here are a couple pics of that adventure with the girls:





I took this photo of the pond that same evening, just moments before it got too dark to bother sans tripod:



I thought I might add an inspirational quote at the top -- something subtle, so as not to distract from the scenery -- to scrapbook and/or to order as a large size print. But I can't decide what quote to use. I've played around with Psalm 23 and Job 12:7-10 (both from the KJV version, whose language I love the most), but it doesn't have to be Christian or even scriptural. Do any of you dear readers have a favorite quote about nature? Water? Beauty? Reflections? Twilight? Anything at all that would relate to and enhance this photo? Please leave me a note in the comments section.

You know, I used to have all sorts of things like that floating around in my head: Snippets of poems (or entire poems), song lyrics, literary quotes, lines from movies and plays, famous quips from Oscar Wilde or Dorothy Parker.... I'm amazed now that I can even remember Ms. Parker's name. :-P I hate to join the camp of those who say that motherhood makes you stupid -- I hate those people; they're terribly offensive -- but honestly, I feel like my brain has gone to mush in recent years. I used to be at the very least a convincing pseudo-intellectual; now the pseudo part is all that's left. If that. It's not even that I've forgotten things I used to know -- I feel like I've lost the ability I once had to simply think. But not, apparently, to angst. (Or to randomly turn nouns into verbs.) ;-)

Ah, well. If that's the price I get to pay, I'll pay it.

Anyway, leave me a note with your best idea for a caption for that third photo and I'll love you forever.
