Satyr vs. Naiad

I don’t think I look anything like a goat, but I certainly began to feel like one this weekend. Taking advantage of the sunshiny day, I rode off to one of my favorite watering holes (of the woods and watery pools variety, not the liquor and pool variety- that was the night before). In full summer, this is the place to punctuate laying around in the sun listening to the roar of waterfalls with a dive into the rock ringed pools. At this time of year the water is high and the melting runoff from the mountains is icy cold. I had to content myself with scampering up and down the rocks taking pictures and feeling a bit goatish when I would have preferred to dive in and feel more naiad-ish. But I got the images I wanted, so I can’t complain too loudly.

 

I could have been taking pictures like this…

   

But of course I came away with these…
