It's a question worth asking from time to time. We all get caught up in the flurry and bustle of our daily lives and though "the unexamined life" may not be worth living, the examined life does not happen as often as we might wish, either.

So, thanks to Helen for another challenging theme...and a moment of reflection :)

Sizing and sharpening here was done in The Gimp. The negative conversion is the product of IrfanView, which remains, at times, just the right tool for the task at hand.
