This week Patti challenges us to show images of water. She beautifully writes, “water is magical. Its beauty, power and persistence are unsurpassed…”
What is it about an ocean, lake, stream, waterfall or just a puddle which can draw so much attention? Water is truly magical because it is never the same – strong, angry, calm or picturesque when reflecting colors – and vital for all life.
“It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things.” ∼ Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
