Watery Impressions

 Watery Impressions

Water speaks and draws you deep into its ever-changing moods…

Mist rises on a shrouded shore, the lowest clouds there are, formed from the tiniest beads of water, shape-shifting all it enfolds.

Lake’s surface is calm, then suddenly you can “see” the wind, as a gust plays on its surface.

A downpour of rain pounds the Earth and slakes its thirst.

Brooding water reflects a darkening sky, and says it’s time to pull the canoe to shore and set up camp.

Sparkling waters glimmer and glisten. Sun’s artful rays create a living, moving painting on a liquid canvas.

A sheer rock wall on lake’s edge suggests seemingly fathomless depths below. 

Raging rapids roil and roar, wild whitewater.

Turbid water trickles from a melting glacier, silted brown by boulders ground to dust

Crystal clear brook flows from a mountain meadow of new-fallen snow melting in the early spring sun.

An ephemeral pond behind our place is the home for a time of a mated pair of wood ducks

Sweet water from a cold spring slakes one's thirst, Earth's liquid gift.

Waves of water charge ashore like thundering hooves of horses.

Ocean water surges in a hurricane, mountainous seas targeting the land.

Shoaly water is treacherous, the demise of many a ship.

Waterspout, a tornado of water whirls from the surface.

Hot, bubbling water paints the thermal spring with mineral colors.

Cascade of water thunders over a cliff, decisively doing what water does in one fell fall.

...Water draws you into itself and immerses you in its mysteries.
