“I am more and more fascinated by the reflections of colors in water. It is quite beyond me.”— Claude Monet
This post features the many Colors of Water!! Endless colors and patterns captured with my camera from lakes, rivers, oceans and even rain puddles.
Beth is hosting the photo Challenge this week. She is suggesting we refer back to our earlier blog #155 On The Water, July 10, 2021, and now look forward and post additional pictures showing anything that is on the water. I will start off with a few pictures taken on the beach near my house on Kiawah Island, SC.

“It is sunset now, as the sky is a lit with vibrant colors on the horizon, pink, blue and golden is the backdrop, with its reflection highlighted in the sea.” — Annette (Wengert) Tarpley

Blue crabs and marsh mud can be seen under the water’s surface in this local pond.
Hope you enjoyed seeing this collection of Colors on the Water.

Beautiful photos, Sylvia. I love your first one, it’s just like a painting and the cute crabs too.
Sylvia, I love your colors on the water! They are all wonderful but my favorite is the opening shot of the Super Moon. I also love the heron by the pond and the crabs in the water. Thanks for this great response to the challenge.
Thanks, Beth! And thanks for giving us such a great topic!!
Wonderfully diverse set of images Syliva – the crab underwater is great! Also loved your puddle image.
Thank you Tina, now we know why so many people go crabbing in our ponds and lakes!
