Out for a paddle.

Faye and I went out for a paddle this morning and had a delightful time.

Dances.

Currents flow, waves break, whitecaps come and go.

Water dances.

Whirls

Turbulent flood water whirls, spins, and eddies.

Mesmerizing

The sight and sound of falling water is mesmerizing, soothing, calming, peaceful. It is easy, healthy, necessary, to lose oneself in the experience.

Deeper than it appears

Rippling water, physically only a few inches deep, can be as deep as your mind and spirit allow it to be.

Art

I stood on the riverbank, surveying the scene for an interesting vista to photograph. Nothing really struck my eyes. Then I looked down, just in front of my feet.

Water, incompletely solidified, becomes art.
