Thoughts Provoked By A Small Roadside Cascade

Color Photography
Hello friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “Living Water 21920” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

Tiny drops of water pool into a stream form the flow that cascades down the mountain. The body of water isn’t really all that large. In fact most places wherr you might encounter the flow you could cross in a single step. But life doesn’t have to be large to be important. The First Nations people understood this. In their world everything was alive. Everything was important in some way. The small cascade in tonight’s feature image is only a few inches high but that’s enough for water to become oxygenated before it reaches the river. I haven’t really looked into the math but my guess is that shallow streams with lots of little spots like this provide a significant amount of the oxygen that gets into the rivers and helps make life possible for the fish. The smaller streams definitely carry nutrients into the larger rivers that makes it possible for aquatic plants to grow. They also give photographers an opportunity to pause and consider the little things in life and how important they are.

At Rest

black and white photography
Hello friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “At Rest 21620” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

I’ve been told that if the devil can’t hold you back then he’ll push you forward. The modern world is constantly humming with it’s hustle and bustle and there seldom seems to be time to take a breath.

I look at tonight’s feature image and think about how chaotic and choppy the water seems to be. Like the modern world it never really stops moving with ripples that go in every direction and eddies that swirl around threaten to toss you about. But if you can that place of stillness like the little structure in the water you can hold your focus even if it’s just for a moment.

A Peaceful Stop Near Charlton Heights

Color Photography
Hello friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “The Flow Of Peace” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

The morning sun is just above the mountains as the big blue truck finds the wide spot at Charlton Heights. I have always loved the crumbling old stone wall with its little cascade and nearby cave. Today I’ve elected to bring my tripod and attempt a long exposure. I fiddle with the settings a little and eventually get the look that want. Just a few feet away the morning rush traffic zips by. I maintain awareness for safety but otherwise block it out. All I need is a few minutes to lose myself in the flow of stream. The texture of the cut stone and the color of the vegetation. In the few moments of quiet between the sounds of the passing engines I can hear a black capped chickadee calling among the bare twigs. And a sapsucker tapping out his rhythms on a dead branch. I fight against the urge to abandon my responsibility and climb the wall to see what’s up stream but reason overtakes me as I wait for the shutter to close. Folding the tripod away and climbing back into the driver’s seat was the hardest part of my morning. I press the button on the armrest and the passenger window slides down with a whirr and I allow just a little bit more of the peaceful moment to flow into my being and this I carry until I can stop again.

Taking A Few Minutes To Enjoy A Peaceful Morning

Color Photography
Hello friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “Kanawha Falls 12420” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

As the night shrinks away in the glow of the morning sun the clouds retreat into the horizon. The peaceful sky is mirrored by the upper Kanawha River as the local ducks glide in for a landing on the far side of the water. As their ripples proceed them small fish leap forward and dive into the safety of the deep. The remnant clouds marble the sky in layers and golden rays breech the ridge. There’s still a bit of a chill in morning air which smells of woodsmoke mingled with the coffee in my tumbler. On this particular morning the forest is silent save only the droning roar of the water spilling over the dam and the rocks below. In the coming days the rain will return but for now there is peace.

A Lazy Day At The Lake

Color Photography
Hello friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “Lazy Day At The Lake” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

Two of my favorite environments are next to any body of water and in the presence of trees. That’s why this little spot in the overflow at Salmon Run is one of my go to spots for relaxation. The lower limbs of the big old tree dip down to almost touch the water and forms a little “tent” to shelter out the hot sun. The fish seem to really like this spot too. Bass and Bluegills patrol the edges of the water and hang out near the submerged wood. Occasionally a massive carp surfaces and quickly rolls back down to murky depths.

The local kids get a big thrill from feeding the fish. They toss a few bits of stale bread on water and wait for them to disappear in tumult of hungry fish.

I took tonight’s feature image in the summer of 2008. It’s become one that I often pull out in the blahs of winter to give myself a little mood boost as I wait for the weather to catch up with my soul’s desires.
