WATER
The world turns softly
Not to spill its lakes and rivers.
The water is held in its arms
And the sky is held in the water.
What is water,
That pours silver,
And can hold the sky?
The world turns softly
Not to spill its lakes and rivers.
The water is held in its arms
And the sky is held in the water.
What is water,
That pours silver,
And can hold the sky?

I love that final line. I'm glad you found some water. It's scarce down here right now.
Your watery desert landscape is so peaceful.
Beautiful reflection shots, Diane. Have a great weekend!
Lovely reflections for both eyes and heart... I hadn't read that poem before.
Beautiful !
Japanese family went to Sabino, took the tram up and hiked down, with a stop for lunch. They sad it was full of water and quite lovely.

Bardzo ładne krajobrazy i świetne odbicia ich w wodzie. Pozdrawiam.
Very nice scenery and a great reflection of the water. Yours.
What a lovely poem. I can see both silver and the sky in your water photos.
I'm not much of a poetry person, so...
HOLY COWS! THAT'S A LOT OF SAGUAROS ON THAT HILL!!!!
Looking at that hill, I'd be very grateful to be in the valley. Love the contrast!
beautiful lighting and reflection photos. and love the poem too, makes one think deeper.
This are beautiful photos Dianne, what a magical place that must be.
"The water is held in its arms
And the sky is held in the water".
That is lovely.
The poem says it all. Let's cherish water.
I esp like the last one

Water on a hot weekend never looked so good in our desert. I'm not ready for this heat yet.
Water brings life to arid land, lovely to see it flowing in the desert.
