Don’t you just love the amazing depth of colors that a body of water has as it flows over a rocky river bed? Water itself is essentially clear, yet there are blues, greens, grays, whites and a myriad of watery colors that can be drawn from this single snapshot alone. This is caused by the mineral and organic content of the water, the depth, clarity and the way light is passed through it.<\/span><\/p>\n

This photo was taken by Doug along the Skykomish River where we stopped for lunch on our PcT Roadtrip last summer (2013). It was on Hwy 2 (Stevens Pass Hwy) in Washington State, somewhere in between Gold Bar and Monroe, for those of you who know the area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, we found a spot large enough to park the truck and trailer and I started to make lunch while Fisher hauled out his computer and Willow and Doug walked down to the river to take some pictures. Willow was wearing flip flops so she actually stood right in the water, but Doug stood along the shore and shot his photos from there.<\/span><\/p>\n

We were tired and stressed during this leg of the trip, but you wouldn’t know it by this peaceful photo. It makes you realize that Nature just does it’s own thing, no matter what the crazy humans are fussing about at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The river just keeps flowing. Maybe if we were more like the river, we would just flow along too… and not worry so much about controlling each step along the way? We’d probably be a lot less stressed if we did.<\/span><\/p>\n

So let this river take you away… let it flow over you and leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy this peaceful inspiration for the Vol-071 A-series color palette!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
