  3. Time, yes, Elisabth. I'm thinking about water, how powerful it is, how patient it is, how persistent.

  7. reya - it just is! everywhere. in our bodies. everywhere outside our bodies. flowing, ebbing, washing against all manner of forms which soften and dissolve. i think that water works with everything, not against it. how about you?! steven

  11. Yes, water seems so gentle . . . but it eventually has its way with the hardest of substances. The sand in west Wales is the same bluish-gray as the slate of the cliffs.

  14. These are great photos. I love the patterns water can make. Water looks all benign and relaxing, but its impact is so completely opposite. Kind of like one of my exes . . .
