A Paddle.....

A paddle in the cool fresh and still running water at Noble Falls was a lovely way to spend my morning. The water clear and so refreshing, a deep cleansing was felt as I allowed the water to flow across my feet. Wearing flip-flops is not particularly wise when out in the west Australian bush on a warm day which is why I tended to stay in the water.  
Many deadly snakes inhabit the bushland so I keep my bushland explorations to a minimum in the hotter months.

Nine months after a terrifying bushfire the land has regenerated well, the only real reminder of the horrors of the fire are the blackened trunks of many a tree. 
The grass trees were all in flower, closely packed tiny flowers which adorn the spear like spike that soars upwards. 
It really was a sight to behold. 
New growth was seen on many trees, even on some that were so fire damaged it seemed miraculous that they were still alive, let alone sprouting new growth.
Having the place to myself made the visit very special. Sitting on the edge of the granite falls and watching the water cascading was medicine for my soul. 

There was a really vibrancy in the air, after seeing this beautiful place shortly after it was ravaged by flames it was absolutely amazing to see how it was today, to sit and behold the resilience of my sacred and divine Mother Nature.....

They are William, although small compared to your majestic falls, they have a beautiful energy.
