Description
That's probably all I remember of Shakespeare (oh wait, how bout, "The quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth as a gentle rain from heaven"?). Anyway, this is small creek in Fern Canyon that we had to cross. We had such a good time, came out wet and soggy and tired (think we hiked close to 10 miles that day),and I had blisters from the holey socks (they made my toes rub against the side of my hiking (and yes, sometimes I DO wear something besides flip flops, had this been summer, that's exactly what I would have been wearing!!) shoes, ouch!!) I'd put on that morning. But when you're somewhere so beautiful, blisters, water, even some rain just don't matter, you just keep going~~~and we did!!

My Shakespeare is as good as yours. I thought "Cauldron do something or other" I looked that part up and it is "Fire burn, and cauldron bubble". Sounds like you had a wonderful time rain, blisters and all! Lovely image! Love the streaky highlights and the foam!

Sounds like my kind of afternoon...although sometimes it is hard to find someone else who will walk 5 miles let alone 10!!! The pretty little falls reminds me of the grill of a 1940 something Chrysler...if it isn't airplanes, it is old cars...you know how we are sometimes:)

Wondrous layers in this image! You are so like me regards footwear, although I've converted to what my son calls 'serious sandals' for walking in the summer!

Wow, looks like the microscopic capture of a crosssection of thick carpet, Maz. In re your hiking adventure, I think you'd better stick to kickboxing from now on. Actually, that wouldn't have happened if you had been wearing your trusty flip flops.

It sounds like you had a wonderful adventure. Well done indeed.

Anywhere I can't go in sneakers, I've no business being! LOL! I must admit, I'm at a bit of a loss in seeing Bill's Chrysler grill.

Nice capture my friend. I agree, have to wear those rubber slippers. You know Hawaii is famous for that fashion. Thanks for your prayers. I think of you often too. Wondering when we will see each other again. Aloha and mahalo.

Wonderful capture! I love the motion of the water and the way you captured such strong contrasts between light and shadow...and on top of it, you quoted Shakespeare and made reference to blisters...talk about wide ranging! Great work and it sounds like you had fun too! Wonderful!

Double, double toil and trouble, Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake, Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,— For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. Double, double toil and trouble, Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. Playing one of the witches in Macbeth by William Shakespeare had to be one of my favorite roles in Drama Club. This is a great shot and it sounds like even though you got blisters, you had fun.

First of all, would you REEEALLLLLY walk in places like this in flip-flops? You're a better person than I! Second, any shot that starts out with the Macbeth "weird sisters" (aka, the witches) is ok in my book! ("Fair is foul, and foul is fair./Hover through the fog & filthy air.") Third, the fact that Cheri played one in Drama Club makes me respect her all the more! (I played a Fool & two Knaves--for real--and trust me, it brought down the house.) And finally, this quality of mercy doesn't "drop as gentle rain from heaven"! This stuff crashes. Ok. You commune with water. The goddesses of water speak through you. This is just a 'creek', but once again you caught a powerhouse of crashing & colliding, and your composition is all rushing (top), crashing (middle), and colliding (bottom). Whoosh. You didn't succumb to making it 'beautiful', you let it speak its own tongue. And you do this with water all the time--also capturing its quiet times, its mystery times and on & on. A powerful shot for all its closeup-size; and a real Marilyn shot as well. If Macbeth's Witches saw this, they'd run away screaming & Macbeth would say, "screw them, I wanna talk to Marilyn!" Powerful shot from top to bottom.
