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!
