Notice the way she sits, with her dress floating softly around her. Creating beautiful reflections on the surface of the water, as she sits patiently - feeling free and unhurried. Named after a line in John Burroughs's poem "Waiting".

Taken during an underwater photo shoot at Bitter Springs, Mataranka, Northern Territory, Australia.

Here is John Burroughs beautiful poem.

WAITING

by: John Burroughs (1837-1921)

"SERENE, I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea;
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For, lo! my own shall come to me.

I stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face.

Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.

What matter if I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it hath sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.

The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder height;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.

The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me."
