***Mini Challenge #714 - Water, water everywhere ***

A big thanks to Steve on the win. This weeks challenge will focus on water. On the water, in the water, below the water, lakes, streams, the ocean, anything goes. It doesn't make any difference on how much or little there is in the picture. Be creative.

The challenge will end at 9pm PST on Thursday, Oct. 13

Some examples will follow

Challenge Rules:

The host gives you a topic and you post up to three images that fit. Remember, it's all about fun, sharing, and learning. Any picture you have taken in person is eligible, regardless of the time taken, camera, or post-processing used. The host chooses the winners and honorable mentions and posts those in a new thread. The host's decision is final. The winner of this challenge then hosts the next challenge, judges the winner of that one, and so on it goes. The winner of this challenge will have 48 hours to post the next challenge. If that doesn't happen, 2nd place will have 24 hours to do so, then it's up to 3rd place.

Submission Posting Guidelines:

Post each one of your three submissions in its own reply to this post. Give each post a unique Subject, please. It is best to embed an image in its post rather than linking to somewhere else. Feel free to post photos "for exhibition only" if you want to share more than three, or won't be available to host the next challenge. Try to preserve the EXIF please, so we can see which camera, lens, and settings were used.

Comment Posting Guidelines:

Feel free to post comments on the images or ask for comments. Don't hesitate to click on the green "Like" thumb on the top right of the post, so we know which images were most popular. Likes are appreciated as much as constructive criticism is. The host can make up his or her own mind without being influenced by that. I wish you all "good luck" and let's see some interesting pics.

These are fine photos, Len. Enjoy your trip and stay safe.

Regarding the photo of the rain gauge, we don’t get that much rain in a year here in California anymore ☹️

Navajo Lake in Kane Co., Utah this past Wednesday.

Peak color in the high country. A gorgeous day to be up there before the snow starts to fly.

Very nice pano, dramatic in every way. About 5 years ago, I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks camping and photographing in Utah (Navajo Lake included), visiting 5 National Parks, 7 National Monuments, and 15 State Parks. Truly one of this country’s more interesting states (if you like the desert).

Thanks... one of these day I'm gonna have to start shooting again! More or less, LOL.

Rain? That was one afternoon. We get around 60" to 70" annually, waaaaayy too much IMO. No surprise we're in a "humid subtropical" Koppen climate classification, eh?
