RiVER

All rivers, even the most dazzling, those that catch the sun in their course, all rivers go down to the ocean and drown. And life awaits man as the sea awaits the river.
— Simone Schwarz-Bart said that

An eye-catching log formation captured in the river as life grows up around it! I love the ripple patterns and reflections as well.

Oh I really love this image. It’s calming but it has action; my kind of action. I can imagine all manner of things.
The quote is equally as appealing to me. Lovely.

Your “logjam” is probably working all kinds of magic underneath the surface, Sherri, as this river runs to the sea. What a wonderful quote to ponder….

This is a very beautiful image.
Allow me an old verses translation :
“Our lives are fated as the rivers
That gather downward to the sea
We know as Death;”

I was surprised there weren’t any turtles hanging out on the log. I guess I always thought of rivers as going down to the sea and being set free.

Living on a river, I find the river full of peace and constancy. It changes and flows with beauty. Lovely image.

it’s a wonderful shot of the spring runoff Sherri… the tree stump looks like there had been a large nest on top of it….peter:)

btw our rivers run to the Arctic Ocean from here… we are 150 miles north of the watershed…

Nice reflections in the river. I like the stump sitting there supporting new plant growth.
