Wild colours , cascading away
Twirling , swirling on the waves they play
Racing fast, floating slow
Swimming the stream, as they flow
Between the shores, where they shine
In natures cup, a beautiful wine
That eyes watch as they play
On the waves cascading away
In Glacier National Park, in Montana there are a lot of amazing places. This was a smaller waterfall on the Trail of Cedars. I had seen many images of this fall and many looked the same because there was only one place to see the fall, from a boardwalk bridge that crosses this stream on a trail. Hard to shoot with a tripod because the bridge shakes all the time. If you can get 30 seconds without a flood of people coming by it would be ok.
So that's the image and the location. But its the people I wanted to tell you about because I am not sure I can ever look at this image without thinking about the unique interaction I had in this location. I happened to be wearing a Star Wars shirt this day. No biggie. But it was enough for me to apparently snare the attenuation of a unique dude. I am standing there shooting and I approached by a dude. Not odd, I thought he was going to talk about photography, but no. It was my shirt that provided the fodder for the discussion that ensued. He asked if I liked Star Wars. Sure, I am American. It was then that I looked up and saw this fella. He was wearing a long sleeved, thick wool button shirt that looked like a jet black Sergent Pepper kind of shirt. His shorts were black, with fringes, yeah, that's the only way I can describe it, fringes. His hair looked like a young Weird Al fro. And then, the most important part, he had what appeared to be a lightsaber hanging form his belt. So he must be a kid, right. No, he was about 29. It got stranger. He asked if I studied the ways of the force. Uhhhh. How does one respond to something like that. I said, I study the ways of the Canon, gesturing to my camera. His face was ashen. You could tell he was not kidding. He then looked up to the trees and said "I am a Jedi. I like to come here because I can feel the force flowing in the trees here." "Oh yeah?" I said. Then he could apprently feel my longing to be like him, he looked into my eyes and said "I can give you some good hyperlinks to places on the web that can help you understand the ways of the force." You could REALLY tell he was very serious. He then looked at my kids and said, "ah, the padawans." Ok, I did not want Sergent Pepper-Jedi-Weird-Al anywhere near my kids. My son spotted the lightsaber. Oh crap, here we go. "Is that real?" asked my 9 year old. "Ok, we have to get going now, it was nice meeting a Jedi, but we have to run." How could I possibly end this interaction any other way, even at the risk of offending his religion, I had to say "May the Force be with you." You would think I just gave him a present. He lit up and beamed back, "and to you."
It talked all kinds I guess. In hind sight I should have chatted more with him.
Captured at the Hraunfossar "lava falls". Hundreds of small waterfalls seem to come out of the nowhere and pour into the river HvÃtá.
These bell shaped flowers are on a small tree at the Elcon Mall in Tucson, Arizona, Southwestern USA.
I don't know what this tree is. Help would be appreciated.

A small waterfall on Mount Lafayette. This was at the beginning of my climb, on the Falling Water trail. It was a nice start to a stunning hike, although it took almost until the first peak until the view opened up.
Elementary school students painted these plywood salmon and attached them to school fences and other strategic fences around our town. It helps create awareness of the importance of preserving our salmon resource.
A rocky mountain stream flows downhill in western North Carolina near the town of Topton. Prints, and many other products, are available with this image on my website at www.tom-claud.pixels.com.
This is a close-up photo of patterns in the sand in a stream at Clam Harbour Beach. There are a few pareidolia portraits present in the patterns.
Saw this rushing mountain stream from a roadside stop. Climbed down to the stream and then realized the best angle in my opinion was standing in the cold mountain water.
