I have a fascination with waterin whatever form I find it
from the lowly puddle to the mighty sea, but most especially in
mountain streams.
It is not enough for me to see water.
Possessively, I want to own it!
Yes, I know... no one can own water--
at best we borrow it,
but I try through touching, wading, swimming, and photographing.
I want to make it part of me--
after all, are we not one?

I peer beneath its surface
to see what treasures it might hold
I look for its reflections.
I linger along its banks,
taking some of its power for my own. Does it guess why I am here?
Mountain streams are boisterous,
noisy, fast moving
proud of their own strength--
relentless in their quest toward the sea. They begin gradually, a spring, a bit of snow melt.
Their power grows until nothing must stand
in their wayto complete their cycle of life--
only to begin again!
Yes, they are like me.....

Nice photos. You look truly happy.
Well I guess I did not wait long enough for all the pictures to load, cause all I saw was water, none of Rain!
DAMN those word verifications are really hard to see.
the picture of me was in the first one, Mary Lou, and I will try again without the verification, and see if the ones who had me set to post something there every day have gone on to greener pastures. I don't like the little letter thingy either, but it was getting ridiculous. I hope they have a list and you can get removed from it! I can't figure out what they gain from it and does anybody ever reward them by clicking on their links?
I feel this way about the ocean. I have to live close to it. I love the tides and the rhythms. There is definitely something about water that is absolutely primal.
I love water -- lots of it. I grew up on the shores of Lake Erie in Toledo where we also had two rivers surrounding the small peninsula where my neighborhood was located. I love the ocean, too. What I hate most about where I am now is that there's no water worthy of note. What you have shown us here, Rain, is some pretty good water. And it shows in the glow of your smile! You look beautiful!
Lovely pics and a lovely lady go hand-in-hand. :)
I understand the need for the word verification, but I would say at least 50% of the time I have to enter it a second time because I get it wrong. Too bad a few bad apples make it so tough for the rest of us.
Gorgeous photos, Rain and lovely poetry.
I'm a Pisces...So I too love water!
I feel the same way that Robin does, although I didn't know it until I moved to Vancouver Island. There is nothing quite like it, but as in your post, I too, love water most especially ocean or a river that is running fast!
