The love of field and coppice,
Of green and shaded lanes.
Of ordered woods and gardens
Is running in your veins,
Strong love of grey-blue distance
Brown streams and soft dim skies
I know but cannot share it,
My love is otherwise.
~ Dorothea Mackellar 1904

That's very peaceful.
Hello:
Streams and rivers do have, very naturally, a calming effect and are, we feel, lovely to come across when out walking in the countryside for they provide, additionally, so much in the way of interest.
Both words and picture are wonderful !
Oh soo tranquil my kind of place ! Lovley post and photo ! Have a great day !
Nice! The picture and the poem, Jo. I always feel so refreshed when I come over here.
It looks so cool and inviting!
Beautiful picture, but, what a sad poem.
Lovely photo and poem as well. Have a great weekend dear friend!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
There is not any places with water here. Back home there were several rivers and they were nice to walk by on a summers evening

What a beautiful photo...it reminds me of my green British Columbia. I'm really missing the green of BC this year with the drought we've been experiencing. Unfortunately we won't be going up to see my family until next year. Oh well. Thanks for the memories Jo...
