Self Portrait Challenge: Elements (Water)

Posted on | July 26, 2007 |


Sun high on the meridian, humidity making my hair curl and the cat nap, a sprawling stripe of fur on the windowsill. Reason enough to head down to the local hardware store for a blue plastic kiddy pool. Cold water splashing on our sun-hot skin, and Bean’s delighted laughter. A perfect afternoon.

    Nice picture. It seems to catch the moment perfectly. I can almost hear the water and Bean’s giggles:)

    I love that shoot of water coming up! We have a kiddie pool too, but it’s for the puppies. They love it!
