Blog EntryPicture Perfect theme this week is ~ Water ~Feb 6, '08 11:58 AM
for everyone

 

Welcome to

P I C T U R E   P E R F E C T

 

The theme this week is:

'W A T E R'

in all its splendour, and all its forms!


And now some rules for the newbies

(not that anyone pays them the slightest bit of attention) 

~ Each week a theme will be posted up on Wednesday, and you are invited to put up your best picture with that theme in mind, it should be just

 ONE and ORIGINAL,

 i.e not off the internet,

Then come back and post a comment on this page
so that everyone can link to your blog and see your pic.

By all means mention your camera and lens used, and if the picture has been altered or enhanced in anyway! Out of the box thinking is encouraged!!

Please open your page for viewing for all for that day...and then visit as many others as you can! Try and post a decent size pic on your blog page, so much is lost if the pic is too small or too big.

The entries will close at midnight on Friday.

Play nice....and have fun out there!

....ooOoo....

W A T E R

The Colorado River as it winds around Needles, CA

 

Dripping, running, pounding

splashes gathering strength and momentum

always forging new paths ahead

Higher ,deeper, wider

sides that go from green to rocky

Beating rocks with frothy vengeance

Shallow, deeper, running onward

darker, lighter, blue then whiter

Dainty, fluidly confused it seeps

then spreads and widens

 reaching out and yearning

only for tranquility

Always forward

never back...it creeps

Welcome back Heather.
Tint was a great hostess and we so enjoyed her themes.
Water - this should get loads of interesting takes.

Thanks Emm, I look forward to your take on the theme as always! Tint did an awesome job, put her own personality into it and really made it buzz...was wonderful to be 'on the otherside' and anticipate a theme!

I love this picture! Such a beautiful spot of water in an almost barren environment. Totally cool!

Wonderful words and a great picture too, I love the contrasts! Mine will be up later, this time I actually don't have to go out and take one as I have just the thing stored on my pc.

Thanks for the theme, Heather and yes, welcome back. I like the picture of yours - the contrast of the color of the water and the land around it is beautiful. Was it taken in Arizona?

I have many choices for this theme... will be back once my take is up - with the link. Again, thanks so much!!! *hugs*

Welcome back Heather. I must say I am impressed with Tint. NOT THAT YOU AREN'T IMPRESSIVE MY DEAR "-), but it was like Jay Leno filling in for Johnny Carson, lol - A NATURAL.

I'm happy to say I do actually have a post up this week. I hope all is well for everyone and once again, this is such a fun thing. I look forward to this every week. Thanks for the great fun everyone.

Heather your picture is awesome. I think everyone has pretty much summed it up. The contrast between the beautiful mountains (or are they buttes?) and the bright green grass (or is it grass?) and the barren dirt (yes, I know that for sure is dirt) is just gorgeous!

Here's my contribution:

terrencew wrote on Feb 6
I made this choice before I even started to scroll through my files. I wanted to show the power of water and could have chosen an ocean storm scene(maybe some other time) but this pic, to me, shows the relentless nature of that power.

carolenablue wrote on Feb 6
Great photo -- it shows the contrast of water in the dry desert, and the poem reflects how the water carved and created the landscapes we see. An interesting theme -- I'm just excited to see any kind of water that isn't in it's frozen form!

Your image makes me think of a different planet. It has an "other world" feel to it, like an oasis within a lunar landscape. The poetry as always is beautifully desciptive.
