Water – in – Motion! Now this one is right up my stream of consciousness. Sophia Alvez of photographias introduces this week’s challenge with a lovely quote: “There’s something about the water – that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You’re on Earth but not quite.” – John C. Reilly
I am an Aquarian and I love water; the many sounds of it, the feel, scent and taste of it, and the way water moves in various environments. I’ll begin with photos of quiet waters.
From tranquil ponds and slow-flowing creeks, the velocity and resonance increases with streams, as they undulate over and around fallen logs and rocks, and sparkle in sunlight.
Streams are tributaries to rivers which ultimately flow toward the oceans. Along the way, fresh water rushes and roars, as it hurtles onward.
Where I live, on the west side of the Continental Divide, rivers flow into the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes tame and gently lapping at surfs edge, the Pacific also has gale warnings, king tides, and breakers that heave and surge upon one another.
I’ll close with this shot of a Song Sparrow having a big splash in one of my birdbaths!

There’s some really good stuff in there. Your eye continues to improve.
Thank you Ralph! I appreciate you 🙂
Amazing!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the ride!
What a beautiful progression you prepared for us, Lindy! I loved all images, and especially the set with streams and creeks.
Thank you, Egídio. Now it’s time for me to see all the beauty other’s have posted for this one!
I absolutely loved the way you presented this, Lindy. The seeping water at the shore line and the pink penstamon along the river spoke to me. I love the water too. Never enough time at the beach.
And what a content little sparrow. lol nice capture of the splashes.
Thank you, Donna. I so appreciate your thoughts and compliments!
These are wonderful examples for this challenge Lindy. I especially like your ocean images; the waves especially.
Thank you Anne. The Pacific Ocean delivers new images every day!
GREAT selections, great variety. Too many faves to mention. Well done!
Thank you, John!
Great galleries, Lindy! I so loved them all, but the last gallery and the splashing sparrow caught my heart!
Thank you, Leya. That little sparrow was having a wonderful time!

I loved all your moving waters. The first one of the calm water is stunning.
Thank you so much!
Your love for water is in every shot, Lindy. Wonderful! And you finish with a magical photo 🙂
Thank you, Sofia. This was such a pleasure for me to put together!
Terrific choices for the week Lindy. My favorite though is the final image of the ocean. That looks to have been quite a windy day!
Thank you, Tina. That was one of my first “good” shots of the breakers along our beach!
Loved the song sparrow picture, Lindy! It looks like a fireworks display of water.
Thank you. They really do get into their baths!
