Fast moving water
Fast Water - Cooleemee, NC

We had a beautiful weekend, beautifully hot for April I should say, and it continues into this week getting up 89°F today. This past weekend was used for spreading mulch and preparing flower beds for a new season. Then there’s the yard that needs mowing about every five days now and starting this weekend the itching eyes and running nose of spring allergies — I did wish for spring a few weeks ago, didn’t I? ;-)

The photo today is of a cooler nature — swift running water over rocks. That trough near the bottom of the photo where water is crashing down is about 10-12 feet deep. I wouldn’t be surprise if you fell in you’d be pinned at the bottom of it for some time and probably spun like a washing machine.

  1. Fast and swift flowing water is so powerful, I have a lot of respect for such a force. Sorry about the allergies as my oldest 2 children have always struggled with them. I’m thankful my only allergy seems to with work, especially if someone else is working near me.

    • Spring is the only time I have serious allergies so I count myself lucky. When I was a boy I helped my father make hay each spring and I suffered terribly, so again I count myself lucky these days.

  2. An impressive water fall with its force and volume. Nice shot of it!

  3. Working for me, both the powerful black&white image as well as the idea of a powerful waterfall, where the fine mist annihilates all pollen, moistens the mucous membranes and cools the eyes. A wonderful place for anyone with pollen allergies.
