I thought I would agonize over what kind of photograph to use for water: should I use the marshes of my Georgia childhood? Or the Gulf waters of our vacation spot on Anna Maria Island? Or maybe the crystal fresh waters of an Appalachian stream, or our trip to Lake Superior when we lived in Minnesota – or maybe the Cascades waterfall that is our children’s favorite hike? I’ve got photographs of those waterfalls from every season – maybe I should go with those.
But despite all the bodies of water I’ve loved in my life, and all the bodies of water I will love when I meet them (geyser pools, Bahamian shores, arctic lakes, glaciers), the image that kept popping into my head when I thought of water was that of giant white cumulus clouds building over the aqua waters of the Gulf of Mexico in summer: the water cycle before my eyes. I can’t get enough of those clouds.
The possiblities are endless for today’s assignment. I had a hard time editing for this one. Photography 101: Water.

Andrea,you have done a great job with the assignment of water. I was trying to think of what I might use for the assignment if I had one on water and like you I have lived a lot of different places thanks to Uncle Sam for me however I think that you came up with the best one even for all the beautiful water places I have been. Thank you for sharing and your continuing support of the rest of us. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and the magical season which follows. Kat

You picked the right one, Andrea. It’s absolutely stunning….perhaps even more so as I sit at home where it’s currently 3 degrees outside with snow on the ground!
