The Nature of #Liquid

The weekly photo challenge offers a seemingly common theme Liquid. What we as photographers do with it remains to be seen.

My favorite leisure spaces are all about water, but today I wanted to give you a new way of looking at this most important element of life.

While on a blogging break I posted this photo on Instagram of a tiny droplet of water hanging from a rosebush.

House in a droplet

What do you see inside the droplet?

In this next image, taken from an open window in the Ponds Hilo restaurant (famous for their koi ponds), I saw the koi swimming just below us. I’m sure they were waiting for random food crumbs to fall, as they slowly circled around.

Fish appear to be floating in air

Illuminated from above and below, they appear to be floating in an ethereal liquid rather than ordinary pond water. Hard to tell where the air ends and the water begins.

  1. What do I see in that drop? Now that would be telling, Terri, but you can guess that it’s probably going to be something dark that comes with a twist. 😈However, it’s a stunning piece of photography.

  7. That photo of the water droplet is amazing, Terri! A great choice for this challenge. And, you’re right about the koi. If we wouldn’t know better, we’d think they’d be floating in the air. 🙂
