The Study of Water:  Lakes, Rivers, Ocean

Of all the natural subjects of interest, water has to be the most varied and beautiful of all, and certainly my favorite. It is available in the power of the ocean, the beauty of lakes and sunsets, rivers and creeks, snow and ice, and the wonderful reflections from its surface. The surface texture - waves, ripples, textured snow and ice - lend a depth and visual impression to the image difficult to achieve with other subjects. Wildlife is drawn to the life-giving properties of water: sea gulls, ducks, and many other types of birds can enhance the beauty of any watery scene. Finally, lush plant growth - under the surface, on the surface, or around a body of water provides a wonderful contrast and the context for the visual experience.
