Is it me or does this water look like crystals flying through the air? Regardless, I didn’t think a camera phone would stop motion like this.
The water fountain in the image was taken last week at the University of Florida. The day was warm and the kids were looking for something exciting to do. We had to pick up Nancy, who always manages to find the cool things that nobody else seems to find.
After a few loops around campus to find her, we park and walk to this new fountain that is ground-level and barrier-free. The jets of water turn on and off at predictable intervals, but the kids got fooled many times. They were soaked and their fountain antics drew smiles from passing students and faculty.
About 30 minutes later, we packed up the kids and went home to dry clothes and Nintendo DS. I was lucky enough to get to return to work for a few more hours. But at least I got this cool photo. More to come, possibly a big set.
One last thing: Can you locate the angel? Free linkage to the first one to clearly point it out in the comments. “Yes, I can see it,” is not an acceptable response. :) Chuck at D is for Dad! (Awesome site, BTW. Go check it out.)

I figured you’d like the title. :)
That is an amazing shot. It amazes me what you see through that lens. Oh, the angel is in the lower right corner, not right in the corner but to the left just a bit but not quite making it to the center. Her wings are spread and she is looking toward the heavens, or watching for that giant drop of water to connect.

Awesome, you win! Thanks for the visit!
Pete, what a great shot. My grandbaby loves those spontaneous fountains, she could run through them for hours.
Happy WW

Thanks, Vixen. These fountains are loads of fun.
[...] all half dozen of you still reading this blog probably saw Pete’s water burst photo yesterday. As I mentioned in the comments, that reminded me of project I had done last [...]
With that bit of foreground in the picture before the sky, it reallys “grounds” it. I’ve never tried to do anything that close to water with my camera, I don’t want to get it wet! :)

I’m lucky to have a camera phone that was built to be abused. It was Nancy’s idea, and a good one at that. :)
That is a great title for this shot, it really does look like diamonds! I’m loving the blue sky too - we haven’t had a lot of that recently here in the UK, just lots of water (but not as pretty as yours!)

Cool shot. I know what I’ll be posting tomorrow, as I have something similar. ;-)

I can’t wait. Could it be a picture of a water hose? A kitchen sink? The toilet? Hmmm….
