Jesus is the Living Water

Botanical Gardens in Quito! Where have you seen such blue sky?
Jesus refers to Himself as Living Water.  My soul is so drawn to water and always has been. 
I never tire of looking out over vast expanses of water like the ocean or Lake Ontario, Michigan, even Almanor.  There is something anchoring and reorienting about the expanse, the power, the vastness that reminds me always of God's love and His power.  Furthermore, in smaller ponds and bodies of water there is the component of reflection in the stillness.  So, thought I would share some more of my pictures of reflections on beautiful bodies of water.  One thing I noticed while being in Chicago this week was that frozen bodies of water cannot and do not reflect anything!  There's something to ponder at a spiritual level.  What freezes your soul so that nothing is reflected but ice? 
What is close enough to your soul that you are reflecting it perfectly?  Are you still enough to reflect anything? 

Savor that blue sky reflected in the water and the contrast of the red Bird of Paradise!
A nearby park in Lakewood.  See the sunburst to the upper right?
The slight breeze rippling the water so trees are reflected a little wobbly!
