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.
That's a prize-winning composition if I ever saw one. The perfect moment in time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Vicky. A terrific portrait, unassuming and engrossed, at ease in her own environment.
ReplyDeleteA timeless photo. Children will always cherish the water! I loved the poem you chose as well.
ReplyDeleteIt might be the middle of the summer, but that still looks cold to me.

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.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteWish I was there with her.
I was completely caught up in this image the moment I saw it. I, agree, a timeless moment.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding!!! I was thinking about a prize-winning composition even before reading the others' comments. Congratulations, Joan Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteAh, to be a child with my feet in the smooth round stones of a cold stream bed. Lovely
