I know I've only posted a couple of photos, but would like to suggest a subject anyway. With summer upon us, how about a theme with water? Rivers, lakes, oceans, wetlands....anything water. I think it would be a great way to kick off the summer, and LOL, inspire me to get out with the camera.

now that I have changed my mind many times as I had not expected to win an wasn't prepared! water is a challenge to make into a challenging theme but I thought it would be a fun challenge to shoot...

"Patterns in nature: water"

any pattern made by water or pattern within water, example swirling water, water drops, ridges in sand from tide, etc

how does this sound to everyone???

Hmmm, this'll be a toughy for me. Any streams, creeks, rivers are to be avoided during the summer months around my area...cotton mouths galor. And to make matters worse, we are in the middle of a drought.

I'll have ta do some thinkin' on this one..

well if no one else objects...I have no problem with people who use spray bottles to create droplets of water for photo's, a hose to soak a spot....be creative....drop a rock in a horses water troth...capture the splash....
