This photo is of Rustic Falls which is a fairly small 47′ waterfall in Yellowstone National Park. There were a couple of small unmarked pullouts from which you could see the falls and it could easily be missed.
I was there in May and we had a couple of unexpected (for me) snowfalls during that time. The park roads were in good condition, though, and I’m sure the melting snow added to the water in the creek going over the cliff.
I’ve always preferred places that had water to places that were dry. (I like the desert when it is blooming but that’s about it!) I prefer green plants and creeks, rivers, lakes, streams and especially waterfalls.
When Jesus was talking to the woman at the well, they got into a discussion about water and He told her:
Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life.”
John 4:13-14 (The Message)
