Am I blending in?


Water is the ultimate medium.
It has power to soothe, to destroy, to awe.
This is Elk Creek Fall behind me, a short walk from a county road by Powers, Oregon, the reward after an hour drive up a winding road.
Here, I'm congruent with each step I take, each breath I inhale, muscle aches reining my enthusiasm.

    I like this picture of you and the water. Congruent and soothing.
    Yes, I share the aching muscles and painful knees.

    You seem so a home with the water and the natural surrounding. You appear to fit right in. This is good.

    Blessings and Bear hugs!

    You and the waterfall belong together.

    Blending in? Yep, I see 2 beautiful things..the water and you! We visited some beautiful waterfalls when we were in Oregon last year. Love it!

    I have read your latest posts. First of all you are more technical than me because my daughter gave me an iPhone and I twisted and turned it and just did not know how to take a “selfie” I pushed on the thing and it took a view of the computer!
    Then, I think everyone who has had difficulties in life has thought about “quitting” whatever – that is just natural. Yesterday while I was in the hospital waiting room as my husband was having his second bladder cancer operation I did not even want to read – and that is rare for me. I enjoy blogging because it takes me away from these “difficulties” that I cannot share with many people. I know blogging is impersonal, because some people will read your blog for a while, then you never hear from them again, but it is still some human contact which helps when one is a bit sad and needs some friendship.

    You make a lovely pairing with the waterfall. Oregon is such a beautiful state.

    Happy spring!

    It looks like such a beautiful place for a hike (and a selfie!)... aches and pains be damned!

    Water does have those powers, and waterfalls can be awesome to behold....how lucky to live so close to such beauty.

    I agree with you. You've described exactly how my (increasingly infrequent) walks at the nature reservation make me feel. Thank you.

    Sometimes you have to make an effort to get to the best places! You did well to reach this one!

    A walk by water is certainly soothing, well I find it so anyway. :)
