The Saco River and Tai Chi

Got to kayak the Saco River before Tai Chi class tonight.  

Portage site (West Buxton Bridge)

Another View: W. Buxton Bridge from the Saco River

                                             

What is it about rocks, water and rivers' edge? Is it that even the hardest substance (rock) over time and circumstance, yields to and is changed by the softest (water)?

Roots. They never lose their fascination.

Another type of underwater grass.  

Here's a bird with a camouflage coloring, who blended splendidly with the riverscape.

The YinYang of Rivers
The Saco River is strong, fast, and energetic. It is tranquil, peaceful and calm. Significant currents; high and low water levels; often-changing conditions. Magnificent. For many years up until last year I lived within a fraction of a mile from it, kayaking it countless times~never finding it overly familiar. Tonight was like visiting an old friend.
