falling water

"no man needs a vacation, so much as the person who has just had one." -- Elbert Hubbard

 frank lloyd wright's wisconsin home and school, taliesin in spring green, included a beautiful waterfall.  it originally had a power plant attached for electricity.  tal iesin is welsh for "radiant brow" denoting wright's comment that a house should never be built on the top of a hill. 

a beautiful three days to mark 35 years together included this waterfall on the inlet to lake delton, wisconsin.  it was symbolic in that the water takes a tumble but gains energy and calmness in its journey. 

lunch at a lakeside restaurant on lake delton,overlooking the tommy bartlett waterski show rehearsal, included an hour of paddling and a "front row seat".  they didn't want to toss me a tow rope..
