We had traveled to a lake in northeast Kansas we’ve never visited before. By the lake, there was a considerable RV park. The summer community was not only filled with various travel trailers of every size and boats, there were many children on foot, on bikes, on skateboards. I would standing in what I thought was a secluded place in a grove of trees by the lake, and children would pour through the trees on bikes and running past me.
When I was on the dock taking photos of boats and dragonflies, a boy approached me.
“What are doing?” he asked.
“Taking photographs,” I answered.
“Are you are photo person?”
I smiled at the inquisitive boy. “Yes.”
“A photographer,” he stated.
“Yes.”
“Do you sell your photos on the Internet?”
“No, but I do have a website where I share my photos.”
“Oh.”
Then he proceeded to tell me how neat the Fourth of July had been at the lake, and we talked about that.
I truly enjoyed our little conversation, and for some reason, the boy reminded me of Christopher Robin, a character created by A. A. Milne in the Winnie-the-Pooh books.
“And by and by Christopher Robin came to an end of things, and he was silent, and he sat there, looking out over the world, just wishing it wouldn’t stop.” –Winnie the Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner
