You are most welcome to the seventh FOR THE EARTH posts. This post focuses on water and features northwest “RIVERS”. Whether we turn on the tap for a glass of water or trek along a riverside, water is always present in our lives. Rivers, the flowing link between the mountains and oceans has inspired artists of all kinds. RIVER SONGS invites you to consider through photographs, haiku and quotations a variety of ways we all respond to rivers.
