I love seeing things travelling on the water's surface, bubbles, leaves. That light is beautiful, and so is the quote. The quote reminds me of something we learned in the Irish Gaelic class I took years ago. At one point in Irish history, the people were forbidden by the English authorities from saying the name of their country. The Irish got creative and invented all sorts of code words and names for their country, like water flowing around an obstacle. Thank you Clara.💖😌🍀

OMGosh! That’s a LOT of water! Looks like the Everglades (😄- which I’ve never seen in person but, oh, well), really beautiful, refreshing; love the song of water❣️

I love water when it’s where it is supposed to be, like a creek bed or the ocean or a lake (that’s a pond). That water looks suspiciously like flooding although the colors are spectacular! I’m wishing you sunny and dry weather for a bit.

It IS flooding, but in a way it does every spring after a big rain, so the woods are used to it -- and we've moved our path so that this can continue without us disturbing it.

Cool! (On so many levels) LOL! Glad it’s not a threat.

Lovely Water music! Which book of Margaret Atwood's is the quote from? Must be one I haven't read.

What a wonderfully calm video, and the quote is a reminder of the strength of water. Thank you, as always, for starting our days with delightful pictures/videos and words of wisdom. Enjoy your perhaps blue skies.

The colors, Shades of green and yellow, with pops of orange, joining with the joyous water, traveling to the wetland wonderland! Margaret is brilliant in her description of the ways of water!
