#19 - Relief

Today was incredibly hot and uncomfortable. Late in the afternoon a thunderstorm blew through with some nice breezes and a tiny bit of much needed rain. My Japanese maple was sighing with relief to get this small shower of raindrops.

#3 - Believe

One has to "believe" that this fragile-looking structure will not just collapse when you walk across it. I don't enjoy walking across it, but hundreds of people do every day. This pedestrian bridge is really quite unique and strangely attractive to look at. The bridge is curved, which doesn't show up in my pic. It spans the Reedy River (shown in my "movement" post) in downtown Greenville and is the focal point of a spectacular park.

#16 - Movement

The movement of the water in the Reedy River through downtown Greenville creates these falls, although, as you can see from my picture, they are drastically diminished by the drought. Even last summer you could not see the rocks under the falls. And I have seen kayakers go over these falls when the river is running high -- not now! BTW, this river runs right beside my office, so I have a lovely view anytime I get a minute to look out the window.

#15 - Moody

Pharmaceuticals!! What would we do without them?

#26 - Yummy

These are the Stone Lake geese having their "yummy" dinner of lush grass. This flock lives in/on/around the 2 lakes in my community and are residents the same as the humans and cats and dogs who live here. Every late afternoon they can be found in someone's yard grazing. I purposely left the bit of the stop sign, sidewalk and road in the picture to show you that these beautiful birds are admired and protected by those of us who are privileged to be allowed to live with them.
