247: Water on sunnier days

(At the Alluvial Fan in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.  August 2010.)

I’m dipping into some water shots I took while we were in Colorado last summer, just for the fun of it.  And because the weekend is getting busy and it’s easier to bring up old photos than to upload, re-size, and post new stuff.

Helen Hunt Falls. Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Besides, it’s nice to have a look at some sunnier days.  It is still cloudy here in the Bogs.  No rain (so far) today.  We should see some sunshine tomorrow.  That will be great as we have a bike ride planned on a local towpath.  No rain, please.

Looking down on the falls

Leisure is a form of silence, not noiselessness.  It is the silence of contemplation such as occurs when we let our minds rest on a rosebud, a child at play, a Divine mystery, or a waterfall.

~ Fulton J. Sheen

Water at play

Floods of humanity, lakes of peace, rivers of gold, the tides of war; all we are and do is linked to the water of life.

~ David Mead

Water at play II

This is a second post in response to the Weekly Photo Challenge of Water.

I just glanced out the window and it’s here.  The sun!  I think I’ll go clean up the boat and go for a pedal around the pond.  Other than swimming, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the body of water outside my back door.
