It used to store water, but not any more. Makes for a nice photographic subject in the right lighting!
I forgot to mention that the ice pancakes in the foreground are quite solid for walking on. Unfortunately they weren't as solid as I thought and quite a bit slipperyer (hmm..that's not looking like a word).

Out for a drive and this beautiful cloud was raining on the canola crop. It is so nice to see some rain to help our crops grow. Saskatchewan prairie, Canada.
Thank you for viewing my sky art photography.
I went to the big places, the waterfalls, the peaks, the valleys. They call to me. But sometimes, the shots are where you don't anticipate them to be. This was the campground near Pipestone National Monument. This was on the 4th of July. In 2020 that meant staying away from the shows, the crowds. Here, my daughter was with me. I was shooting the dock and the moonlight. She said, would it be better with a little girl sitting at the end of the dock? Wow. YES! So she ran out and sat there, only to find that she could see the fireworks off in the distance from the dock. So she sat there for a while, watching the show. Great for me. I shot this several ways, I got the exposure of the moon in some frames, but I preferred the big glow and the big color. Enjoy.
Taken in St James`s Park, London. Have a great week ahead everyone. Mute swan, Greylag goose, female Mallards, Shelduck, coots and gulls.

Crazy Tuesday: #Water
A funny note! After taking pictures of puddles near my apartment and getting wet (it's finally raining today); I didn't like the pictures I took. Then I thought about some water drops on some paper, mirror, plastic, etc inside my house. I tried several times and it seems my mind wasn't quite awake yet. I put some water drops with a spray bottle on some iridescent paper and click. But I didn't like them either. Nah! I wiped them off with my hand and these drops remained diagonally and well...cute... here they are. 😊
Thank you so much for the visit and comments!
I really appreciate it!

Exodus 2:3 “And when she was no longer able to keep him secret, she made him a basket out of the stems of water-plants, pasting sticky earth over it to keep the water out; and placing the baby in it she put it among the plants by the edge of the Nile.”
water lily plants to be the pearls of the pool. Hardy water lilies (Nymphaea) are rightly prized for the beauty of their blooms and their heart shaped floating leaves.
The flowers come in a wide range of colours from pale pink through to the darkest of reds, white, yellow and orange. The colour of some alter becoming deeper as they age. All varieties of water lily bloom throughout the summer months. Starting in June the flowers appear in succession through to September.
Water lilies to suit the tiniest of pools up to the largest lake. The smallest dwarf lily can grow in as little as four inches depth of water with a spread of as little as one foot. While the largest can grow in five feet of water and reach five feet across.
Apart from their beauty and lovely scent, water lilies provide much needed shade for fish and their spawn. They help to reduce solar light levels in the pond thus leading to a reduction in the growth of algae
