within lies an eternal spring
a substance akin to
breath and light
rest gentle upon its edges
sense the spaciousness of its
presence
let the waters of the spring
quench your deep thirst

To see more watery images from other photographers: Watery Wednesday
Those water drops look like little clear marbles - such clarity!
ReplyDeleteThe second shot is pure and serene.
Lovely!
The second picture is quite mystical, I think and both pictures are really good. I like them both.
ReplyDeleteVery nice shots Tammie. Love the one with the tree's (wonder if those are water Oaks?) coming out of the water. Love the droplets of water on the leave also. =)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd poem!!

May I ask what kind of camera you use to capture such amazing pictures? Not necessarily any special lenses, but I am looking into getting a new camera and am trying to get some suggestions :) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Tammie! I think I need a big drink right now :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the greens that I am seeing in everyone's photos. This poem reminds me of the fresh water spring we used to have to walk to out at camp. It was icy cold and could definitely quench your thirst!
ReplyDelete...my favorite line: "sense the spaciousness of its
ReplyDeletepresence" beautiful...
Your poem and images are so beautiful! I especially love the tiny water droplets on the leaf.
ReplyDeleteHappy Watery Wednesday!
Beautiful images. The image of water droplets on the leaves is very nice.

Beautiful verse to go along with the beautiful photographs especially the first one with droplets sliding on the leaves. Don't they look special?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. The water droplets are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteMine is here
Very cool poem and images. You have lots of great pics on your blog!
ReplyDeleteMiz Lee: Lovely prayer, especially that rest gentle upon its edges. Lovely reminder to us down in these desert-lands. Just back from the emerald Gulf, where there were Yemaya's waters a-plenty, quenching deep.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Eleven (!) drops in the palm of the leaf. Master number, and about six more drops than the rain count down here in Tres Leches! :-D
I like both photos too, though they're quite different. I love the way you use poetry to complement the images.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful shots, Tammie! I love the simplicity of the leaf and water drops. The second photo is so serene.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide which of these two pictures I like best -- both are great. But the macro of the water drops is simply stunning.
ReplyDeleteThe first picture is amazing, rejuvenating, healthy, I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the droplets!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post, the first photo of the droplets on the leaf was breathtaking, the other one was a place I would like to visit. Wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful poem. The water drops in the first photos are magnificent. I like the second photo too, it would be nice just to sit there and feel peace and quiet:)
ReplyDeleteWater pearls? Morning dew or after a summer shower? Whatever the case may be, both are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI read the poem several times, Tammie. I am trying to rest gently...
ReplyDeleteThe first picture is a microcosm of the second.
Beautiful photos, especially your first one and lovely verse.
ReplyDeleteSmiles
beautiful words and images, inspiration as always x x
ReplyDeletei want to sit and ponder on those tree branches. as usual, your pictures are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeutiful! Love those banks with big trees...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the second picture. I love the way you captured the edge of the water and the trees.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so deeply beautiful...
ReplyDeleteThe second photograph is taking me back to a book I recently read entitled, "The Drowned World". Absolutely stunning.
