Most of the time I enjoy seeing other photographers out in the parks. We often exchange a nod and smile of recognition, cameras strung around our necks. Occasionally we’ll engage in a brief conversation over our gear or interesting shots we got that day.

The theme for the WPC this week is: a good match. “Represent your idea of a pleasing, harmonious combination.”
I love the interplay of rocks, water, and sunlight. I love the way water froths, ripples, and swirls around a rock in an unending and ever-changing dance. I love the sound of water as it interacts with rocks, from the forceful roar of a cascade during spring melt to the musical babbling of a brook. I love the way sunlight plays on the surface of the water and also on surfaces beneath the water. I love the submerged colors enhanced by water and sun.
It’s not a good match, it’s a perfect match.

It snowed here in Seattle a week ago today. It was the second real snow this winter after two years of nothing. (Light dustings don’t count.) The snow in December was entirely at night, so not very conducive to a photography outing. (I did go out briefly, but I mostly just got wet.)
