Beside the creek


Jamison Creek, Darwin's Walk, Wentworth Falls

Words to walk with:
From Beside the Creek by Judith Wright.
Under the wavering water shine the stones,
rounded in ruby-colours and clouded white.
Once I walked barefoot into that cool
never-ceasing flow. I gathered once
pebbles and ripples, the skimming rounds of light,
and took them home.

  1. That's a prize-winning composition if I ever saw one. The perfect moment in time.

  2. I agree with Vicky. A terrific portrait, unassuming and engrossed, at ease in her own environment.

  3. A timeless photo. Children will always cherish the water! I loved the poem you chose as well.

  5. I agree there is something totally charming about children splashing about in water. Several were choosing to cool off ... though as Jim says I am sure the water was cold.
