James at the point where the South Edisto bifurcates, with the two branches forming a more or less bilobed island. Beyond James, the southward branch, which features an area of rapids. This photo (where I am) is taken from the eastern (=northern) branch. There are also a number of artificial stone/concrete channel diverters (?) below the water. A treacherous place, actually.

A lot of the elementary schools have these fish on their fences. I think it is a craft project which is also used to teach the kids about the value of clean water to the other creatures in out world. The fish snaking along the fences look very cool.
Just looked it up: The mission of the Stream of Dreams Murals Society is to educate communities about the life and function of their watersheds, rivers and streams, while dazzling them with the charm of community art.

...breaking from stillness.
January 17th, 2011
The voice of a stream is in the sounds of rushing water.
It often lays quiet, as a sleeping child.
Wordless...alllowing us to listen to our own selves as we watch quietly.
The stream does not say 'make me move'. ...it waits through winter...one of natures 'diciplines'...for spring!
Then it rushes to freedom, crashing over rocks.... brushing past the trees... breaking free from stillness.
Open and unyeilding and having found freedom ... it can once again be still.
I sometimes feel as if my spirit is a stream.
And sometimes it is stilled.
But I go to my martial arts class... and in the middle of the clean wood floor...held deeply by the motion of disciplined form, ...I am rushing over rocks.... brushing past the trees... breaking free from stillness. ... open and unyeilding. ... finding my freedom.
