If you ever lose heart and the earth seems as distant as stars fading into the noise of your busy mind, know this. That a tiny island exists in the blue hands of the ocean. That a tree grows upright into the salted clouds. That two eagles love each other enough to spend their lives greeting the morning sun together. That two eaglets stand in their nest, gazing at the heavens. Looking down to the forever ground. They eat and sleep and flap their wings. And one day in July, one by one, they will jump into the air. They will know the difference between existing and what is beyond. They will hold onto nothing. The hurricane will come, courage catching their pinions on fire, as they mount the wind, climbing ladders into realms of the invisible.

Welcome to Flood Water Photography!



This blog began in 2010...and now suddenly here it is 2022. December just before Christmas with a couple inches of snow on the ground and trees. Time to start posting photographs and poetry again.

Welcome to my sitting room. Pull up a comfy chair, your favorite warm beverage, and with perhaps a friendly cat or dog on your lap or close to your feet. Life is beautiful and rugged at times. We have the honor of feeding our soul. Hopefully you'll find rest and happiness here.

warm regards,
T.L. Stokes
