It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out, it’s the pebble in your shoe.
~ Muhammad Ali
There was a time when I spontaneously found beauty in mundane things. Those were my childhood days. I was often scolded by my mother for picking up pebbles from the roads and bringing them to home. Blue… grey… brown… round…oval…different colors…different shapes and size. I used to think someday I would create a bonsai and cover its base with those pebbles. But that never happened. Those pebbles found the roads again, courtesy my mother. 😀
So, when I saw these pebbles beneath the sparkling waters of the river I couldn’t but collect them…well, this time with my lens though 🙂 and I share them as part of the Mundane Monday Challenge given by my blogger friend Trablogger.
Hope you like them, too. 🙂
Beautiful mundane you have got here 🙂

So your mom didn’t let you collect the pebbles, so you are putting them on the blog and Indrani incites you to pick them up..haha. Lovely quote Moon.
