#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.
