Canal Art

Life on a canal provides unusual entertainment. The house has an underwater fishing light that attracts fish at night. Watching a school of tiny fish endlessly circling the light fascinates everyone. I took this photo on a very foggy night and was amazed to see that the camera captured water vapor, seen here as grey spots.


Entertainment is not limited to night. Daytime reflections on the surface water create abstract art that wiggles with the water's movement. Here are just a few examples.




Soon I'll be returning to Kansas, where Nature's art is stationary and less abstract.  I have just three more weeks to collect these visions.

Gosh, these canal photos are so beautiful. They look like impressionist art work and are magical.

Not much more time, Mama! I'm hoping for sunshine for you!

Why bother painting? The photos are so liquid and filled with sunshine. Happy Spring!
