A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the very earth itself...for it is from the soil, both from its depth and from its surface, that a river has its beginning.
-Laura Gilpin (1891-1979), U.S. photographer.

It was December 23, two days before Christmas, when we moved into the house on the river. The house was old and needed so much work....the only reason we could afford such a beautiful spot.

It is now ten years later and I have no regrets. I wake each morning to a special beauty, always changing, always new and filled with the wonderful elements of nature.
