I went walking through a local lake over the weekend, and took some photographs of a mini cascade and its splashing water flowing into the lake (not large enough to be called a water falls). The sounds of the water rushing into the lake was music to my soul. Serenity and smiles illuminated within my heart.
A lake carries you into recesses of feeling otherwise impenetrable. William Wordsworth
Good luck and Good work for the happy mountain raindrops,
each one of them a high waterfall in itself, descending from the cliffs
and hollows of the clouds to the cliffs and hollows of the rocks,
out of the sky-thunder into the thunder of the falling rivers.
John Muir
Leisure is a form of silence, not noiselessness. It is the silence of contemplation such as occurs when we let our minds rest on a rosebud, a child at play, a Divine mystery, or a waterfall. Fulton J. Sheen

Lovely captures of the water – relaxing scenes.
Thank you, Leora.
love your pictures and the quotes with each pictures. Dropping by from OWT.
Thank you, Joy.
Thank you for the lovely pictures and perfect quotes. I love waterfalls and cascades too — the most peaceful places in the world~ (here in Oregon we are near the Cascade Mountains and there are many places in driving distance — I must go!!!!!
Thank you, Sallie. I love them too…for their serene moments. You must go.
moving water IS good for the soul. Your little fall is very nice.
Thank you, NatureFootstep.
I love the sound of cascading water. So soothing! But the Cascades I see are the ones outside my front door – the North Cascade mountains. In the spring, we have lots of waterfalls to view and listen to.
Ah, how nice for you. We don’t have many, in SoCA, but speaking of waterfalls, Yosemite is awe inspiring.
Water, whether it be from a river, a lake, or an ocean, brings me great peace. Your quotes and beautiful photographs also had that affect on me. Very nice post!
Thank you, Carol. I feel the same way about any form of water.
The sound of rushing water really is music for the soul.
Thanks, EG.
