UPDATE:
This week I've joined up
with a Flickr photography group
called Team Up Thursday.
Every Thursday,
members of this group
post a photo based on a theme.
Here's what's fun about it.
Everybody is teamed up
with somebody else,
and the two of them
pair their photos together
and then post them in a diptych.
This is my first week
and my partner is
Arizaphale from Australia.
Arizaphale blogs at
"Now Where Did I Put
My Flaming Sword?"
Her blog is so much fun--
she makes me laugh
every time I read it.
Arizaphale in Australia
is 17 hours ahead of me
over here in Utah.
So my Thursday
is basically her Friday.
And when she's awake,
I'm asleep....it could
get really confusing!
This week our theme is Water.
And here's our Water Diptych:
Click on it to see it full size.
You can see all of the group's photos
on the Team Up Thursday Flickr page.
And if you'd like to join in the fun,
it's not too late.
Visit Megan at Mental Inventory
and she'll get you set up!

At first,
I couldn't think of a good way
to photograph water.
I took this shot.
It was fine, but boring.
I wanted to try to see
water in a different way.
So I put food coloring in it.
It still wasn't quite
what I was looking for.
play it safe and I
started hunting
through my archives.
I found photos
from our vacation at Bear Lake,
and camping trips to the Uintahs,
and a trip to the Northwest.
They all have water.
Then "J" came over --
and told me,
"You've got to take a new photo.
You can do it!"
So we started brainstorming.
And we had so much fun
finding beautiful ways
to see water through a camera lens.
Thanks for your help "J"!
I'm learning so much
about photography from you!
