Cascade of Water Light and Leaves


dance of light on water
a sensuous delight
absorbed by our sight
adds breath to inner light
enriching our deep waters

Days after I posted this, I was invited to join Magic Onions Friday Nature Table, visit to find other magical nature wonders!

Soon they will freeze or be washed away. The reflections are so beautiful, almost like camouflage in the last one. You show the ebb and flow of seasons so wonderfully well.

Jasmine said...

The underwater picture is amazing. I can't describe the feeling it gives me. Its like a memory i can't quite touch.

Walk in the Woods said...

Such amazing play of light and shadow, reflection and refraction ... love and nature.

Delphyne said...

Tammie, these pictures are really great and I mean really great! They're hypnotic and have so much movement - they make me recall my life as a Selkie!

Just really beautiful!

Ange said...

Jasmine has very eloquently put what I feel into words. Like a memory you can't quite touch. Those photos are very stirring ... like they are inside you. You work magic Tammie...

Tammie Lee said...

I love that you are all enjoying these images. They touch something deep inside of me as well! I get lost looking at them, just as I did at the lake the other day~

Inky said...

each time i come there is magic, and WOW look at these magical photos, GOSh I want to wade here, I want to stay and watch the bubbles dance upon my reflection.. SIGH !!! such peace and serenity here, passion in all your work.. TY

Natural Moments said...

Water dissolves tension and if water can go deep underground and penetrate the barriers that have long been in place, we certainly do feel enriched, bringing sparkling clean water to the surface for all to enjoy.

Barb said...

Your poetry always reaches deep! Your photos and words are indeed
"spirithelpers" ...
PS What does "You are in my future mean????

Barb said...

Oh, Tammie, how funny - I thought maybe you were going to visit in my area. Now I'm disappointed...

Butternut Squash said...

The color and light is just stunning. I love your work.

Carolyn said...

Moving words and beautiful photos, especially the last two.
Blessings and smiles

troutbirder said...

Dumb me. Now seeing your beautiful pictures I learning to look a little closer at the small things. I've been usually a mountain range kind of noticer! :)

George said...

Beautiful images to go with your beautiful words.

Pacey said...

They are marvelous and your photos did justice to it. Like your words too. And yeah, I've been missing your posts too, for a while now.

dowhatyoulove said...

Hmm, lovely photos. I especially am drawn to the last two, something about the colours and ripples.

diane said...

Wow lovely see through the water scenes.The sunlight reflections are grand.

"adds breath to inner light"

Combined with the photos, I feel incredibly refreshed. What an awesome feeling!

Fantastic light and reflections!

Postcards from Wildwood said...

Such beautiful colours, Tammie. Jasmine, way back at the beginning of the comments, said something about them rekindling a memory she can't quite touch. I have a similar feeling. This also speaks stongly to me of what I said in my email yesterday - that deep connection to the earth's energy. I think your words and photos are helping me to make that connection and from the comments above, helping others to do the same thing. Thank you so much! And thanks for your comments, waiting for me when I got up this morning!
Janice.

Your closeups and macro are as always - excellent! You have caught the light so well in the water - and the water is so clear and clean!

Hope the weather will be better for both of us, soon! I actually leave home without my camera, and that is unusual for me!

SandyCarlson said...

Absolutely delightul, Tammie Lee! I love the ripples as they break the light on the leaves.

Clytie said...

If I look at the photos long enough, I can see the water moving! Bubbling, gurgling, carrying these bits of color away on their own journeys. Beautiful.

Son of Incogneato said...

Gorgeous. The dappled light!
