Waterfalls

Dear Diary,

Today’s entry is presented to you by the letter ‘W’. Waterfalls, I love waterfalls. I love that they are so strong and beautiful, so determined and graceful, so powerful yet fluid. I love that water seems so benign but has the power to knock down the strongest man. I love that man has harnessed water built dams and routed it through pipes giving us the ability to turn it off and on at will, yet water is free and can knock down entire cities in tsunamis and floods and can erode the strongest rocks. I find it fascinating that water is such an important part of our daily lives that we take it for granted and forget just how powerful it is. Waterfalls remind me of the power of water, but also it’s grace and beauty. Now who wants so pictures? Well I do and it’s my diary so here they are.

Wakina Falls

Fairy Falls

Snoqualmie Falls

Twin Falls

 I'm so glad the weather is warming up, more hikes to do and more waterfalls to see.

Until next time,  

Me

Falling Water

I really love this photo. I think what I love is the simplicity. I was at the botanical gardens and right in the middle there was a fountain, this was the top of the fountain where it would shoot the water up and it would come falling back. Strangely it reminded me of when people throw babies in the air and catch them, the freedom and joy in the faces of the babies, because they know that they will be caught and get to do it all over again. It's kind of sad to know that we loose that trust and freedom, as we put expectations on our lives and loved ones that lead to disappointment.
