Mirage


As a child, I watched a movie in which the character was lost in a desert.  There was no sign of life and of course, no water.   Suddenly in the distance, the person saw an oasis complete with trees and a stream. The parched defeated character raced toward the mirage only to be bitterly disappointed by the optical illusion.

There are times in life when I have deluded myself only to realize that what I had imagined is simply that ... a fantasy.



Indian Spring is not a mirage but a cold spring in the Nevada desert area.   As I dipped my face in to refresh, I discovered four 9 inch gold fish!  Someone thought they needed a larger fish bowl?
