the speed of the sound of springtime

This photograph just a tad bit more soft than it could be, but I love the ripples in that push of water in front of her. Brings to mind the "vapor cone" (aka "condensation cloud") that forms when airplanes approach the speed of sound. ALSO brings to mind the lovely John Prine song - "Speed of the Sound of Loneliness". Inspiration creeps and finds its way.
