I took this at 8 pm and it was much darker than it looks.  Crazy to me, how the camera can pull in all that light.

when I was a kid I was intrigued by the mercury in the thermometer, and it took a lot of self control not to break the thermometer so I could play with the mercury.  when I saw these water drops on my friend Ashley’s car, it’s the first thing I thought of.

this a bowl of water on my front sidewalk at sunset. oh, yeah, and I was splashing my hand around like a 2-year-old to make the waves. I’m in love with the image, and wish you could see it full size on my computer screen!

clouds + reflections = two of my favorite things. this was taken at the top of the Angel’s Flight Railway in Los Angeles. Kat and I were there on a rainy Sunday and had the place to ourselves, which was fabulous!

I love the color of the reflection, and the tiny formations of oil floating on top of the water.

So here’s what the camera saw when I got down on the ground and focused on different parts of the reflection.  Unbelievable, when compared with how it looked from above.  Sometimes now I’ll see water on the ground, road, whatever and wonder what I’d see if I got next to it with a camera.

I was about to leave and wondered if this little puddle of water would yield an interesting reflection…
