The topic for the Weekly Photo Challenge is Liquid and comes fortuitously for me as you will see, later in this post. Water can have a very calming effect and, with everything that’s happening in the world today, we could all use a few moments of tranquility to reflect, which is why, instead of heaving seas, raging rivers and tumbling waterfalls, I’ve opted for more peaceful scenes. The first two images were captured in Snowy Range Pass, Wyoming.
The next two pictures were taken at Sylvan Lake and Palisades State Park, South Dakota, perfect places to sit and meditate.
Wisconsin also has some very scenic spots in which to enjoy some relaxation time.
These gently rippling waters lead me to an opportunity to share a link with you that I sincerely hope you will try. My eldest grandson, someone of whom I have written about in several of my previous posts has recently started a podcast called Exit The Echoes. I cannot say enough good things about this young man, who recently became a father for the first time, and I am more than happy to give this new venture a mention here on WordPress. The subject of his latest episode seemed to fit in so well with the pictures that I had in mind for this post, so please, if you can, spare a few minutes of your time to listen to Meditation: Ripples And Echoes and I’m sure you will enjoy his liquid tones.
These last two pictures were taken at Whitefish Point, Michigan and Council Grounds, Wisconsin.

Very pretty
They say a change is as good as a rest, and these places were certainly very restful. Such a far cry from what we are used to here in Chicago.
Wonderful combination of calm, rippling water and smooth, relaxing voice.
Thank you so much for listening, Lletty! I really do appreciate that.
Looks like a beautiful place to paddle a canoe.
I imagine so. Many thanks for visiting.

Beautiful photos! I’m sketchy around water, but that looks like a very peaceful spot.
Thank you! I agree with you, I’m happier by the water than on it, since I can’t swim, but I do love to soak up the peaceful atmosphere of places like these.
Very colourful.Well takenLoved the angles.Thank you
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by.
You must be so proud of your grandson. Your photos illustrate his points well. The still water is calming.
Indeed, I am very proud of this young man! Thank you so much for listening!
Awesome waterscape pictures, Sue!
Thanks, Indira! I wonder why it is that so many of us feel the urge to find a large body of water when we go on vacation. Just like when I was a kid, going to the seaside every year for our summer holidays.
