Today’s PhotoHunt Theme:
WATER
Today’s Photohunt theme? Water.
Oh, I can DO photos concerning water. Can I ever!
How about…

Or Droplets in nature…
Or shower shots…
Fun with water…
Clearly, I <3 water.
Here are my favorite water shots of late, though...
Isn’t it great how your kids just trump everything else?
Hope your eyes didn’t glaze over there at the end, guys. Sometimes, I just can’t help myself.
What’s your favorite water memory?
Happy Saturday!

Those are some of the best photos I have ever seen!
That photo taken of the sunlight at Percy Priest Lake looks like the continent of Africa is in there! Those little sunlight stars are fantastic.

You have such amazing pictures up there, but my favorite is the one of The Oasis. I love that place–we went there for one of my birthdays when I lived near Austin.
I love your blog–it often cracks me up!

You take the BEST finely detailed water shots, ever. Come on, teach me. Do I just need a better camera? Lens? Lighting? To not drink so much crack-infused coffee so I’ll have steady hands?

I’m going through camera envy! You certainly can do water, and these were all incredible. I thought the water droplets were my fave, and then I got to the kid shots. You’re absolutely correct, they trump them all!!

I love the one of the TN lake. I have no pleasant water memories myself, only near drownings. Water scares the bejesus out of me.

I thoroughly enjoy looking at your photos, Lotus!! The one with the hand catching the three droplets is worthy of some serious attention to the beauty in it!! What an eye! I’d love to have a print of that to frame.
My favorite water memory was last week when Aidan finally got in the pool…calmly. I made a post about it!

Damn good shots girl! I think I remember that the faster the shudder speed the more you can get the water to look like individual drops where as if you use a slower speed it looks smooth, but wow you did some really good stuff.
