photogenic water

I'm a hills and sheep girl at heart, tho like a bit of water in the form of waterfalls, or streams. I'm less fussed by larger expanses, I think I'm perhaps overwhelmed by their immensity. Tho I do like a cliff and sea combo - at a safe distance. The cliffs of Moher were a favourite from my time in Ireland, and the main reason I'd like to live in Scotland is the interaction of sea and land edge. Yet one of my nightmares involves accidentally driving into water and being sucked under the surface. I rarely walk along canals, partly to do with that frisson of potential for falling in.
Tonight my boy was canoeing and I would ordinarily have made the most of the time to do a little work or facebooking. But a canal walk was suggested. The dog isn't a fan of going into water, but I wasn't convinced he understands that the flat surface is not walkable on, so I was a little stressy about him inadvertently going in.
But I realised I was having a lovely time, doing something that was one of the reasons I agreed to getting him. And I do enjoy a good reflection and still water is fab for that. I'm really pleased with this shot as the reflected clouds make the calm water appear turbulent.


I've realised some of my photos I'm most pleased with involve water. When I get chance I'll find and share them here. That's not going to be today tho, busy by even my standards. And I've woken a bit dizzy - this sometimes happens when I'm overdoing it, have a cold and stress. I've taken a tablet to ward it off but mainly will need to Slow Down.
