Water, Water Everywhere…

The folks over at The Daily Post have set LIQUID as this week’s photo challenge.

Water is a basic element of life and even though I don’t live by the sea, water is everywhere.

It’s in the smallest dewdrops….

 

Nature Up-Close
Look closely at the morning dew on this bamboo shoot. Shaw Nature Reserve is reflecting back in the water droplets.

…And in vast oceans.

I spent a couple of days in Miami especially to photograph a series of colorful lifeguard stands, but I was enamored by the beach at sunrise.

Water can be calm and tranquil…

…or a turbulent force of nature.

We were set to leave Cinque Terre later on this day and I had grown to love these five perfect towns on the sea. I made one last trip to Manarola for sunrise as the seas began to rise ahead of a storm.

Water can reflect inner depths – even in the smallest puddle – if we only stop to look.

It comes to us in the form of rain, snow, and sometimes even bubbles.

Father raises sun into the cloud of bubbles at the 4th of July celebrations in St. Charles, Missouri.

And of course, we can drink it!

A splash of water.

Water comes in all forms. I’m definitely not short of a photo or two of water – how about you??
