Free Fall Flow, River Flow

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Yeah I'm free - free fallin'...

One of the many basaltic buttes along AZ's wild and scenic Verde River; this one's about 1/4-mile downstream of the Gap Creek confluence.

Here, the water drops at an average rate of 20 feet per mile.

You may as well leave your cellular phone in the car, because it will be
totally useless here.

Amphibian and landlubber animals are plentiful, and rattlesnakes seem to
love this place, so be careful where you step and place your hands.

Thank you for your cooperation. : ))

	Hasn't voted	You're way too kind. I'd like to thank myself for eating too much. Naturally, I needed a place to recover, as my cares dropped off and did a free fall down-river.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks Kathy, I've been very lucky. I was considering attaching a link to "The Doors", but who remembers Jim Morrison and the Doors ??? Anyway, it was fun watching the cattails dance in the wind, and the leaves falling off the trees.

I like the colors in this one Larry, but....
where is all the red at?

	Hasn't voted	The "red" is most certainly out there, but it needed a vacation (for a few days) while all the remaining turkeys got together and had a discussion on how they could bring their numbers back to "pre-Thanksgiving" levels. In the meantime, "The Home Depot" is definitely ... in the RED !!! : )))

	Hasn't voted	Yep, thank you kindly and I reckon you're correct. Apparently, it was not "POTD" material. What it lacks is a "gale force" wind blowing the cattails into the river. People love excitement, I reckon.

	Voted 10/10	I have to admit I was surprised to see that pic of me on San Jacinto as POTD. It was a rather cheap snapshot. I guess what sold it was "excitement"! Yours here is a much more worthy candidate.

	lcarreau	Re: One of your best of late!
	Hasn't voted	What's that? Did you say something? I must have dozed off. I was looking at my picture, and started to get the "yawns." The only 'excitement' going on in my picture is a dragonfly having a bad day. Thanks anyway, hombre !!! : ))
