I snuck away for a quiet moment at Private Bench. We brought a friend to the river today. They’re hanging out near Northern Bench, climbing trees, skipping rocks and making a lot of noise. But down here, all I can hear is the breeze in the leaves of the trees.
I love how the water’s flowing around things that are still submerged after the flood. I love the tiny little ripples where the water has to wrap around the trees in the picture. It’s so beautiful when when those little ripples interact with the fine ripples made by the breeze. They make the most incredible patterns. All these ripples are reflecting the light from the sky, twinkling and sparkling. It’s so beautiful.
