A couple of months ago I was hiking around the Pedernales Falls near Johnson City, Texas and happened upon this flow of water bubbling from an underground source and running back into the Pedernales river. I looked high and low but couldn’t find any sign of where the water originated from. It must have started somewhere upstream in the falls in a spot where the water flows underground before being forced back to the surface. It was an amazing set of very little rapids and makes a curious photograph to look upon.

An interesting place and a terrific photograph! We have a number of small creeks around here that flourish for miles and then suddenly disappear underground. Intriguing!
This is fantastic! Love it.
Your non-Tweeting friend in Jersey…
I thought you didn’t follow Twitter? How did you find out that I tweeted about your pics?
Jeff
I keep looking at this one Jeff, something about how the light and darks play off each other.
Thanks Ray! Did your poster arrive?
Not yet,.. I would wonder if Mark is a closet tweeter, but that would sound bad I think?
Ray, He may not tweet but he does follow. I think a little birdie told him about my tweet this afternoon. Is that redundant?
