Queen's Cascades, Blue Mountains, Australia by Linda Callaghan

An acrylic painting 29cm x 21cm on paper of the stunning Wentworth Falls Queen’s Cascades which is a 10 minute drive from our home. Waterfalls are a gift from nature to be enjoyed and this one is exceptionally beautiful. Water sparkles catching the light / like the glint of diamonds shining bright / cascading over the rock it pours / noisy, gushing… the movement roars Linda Featured in: / HAND DRAWN OR PAINTED ART OF HAPPINESS AND JOY / REALIST PAINTINGS ABOUT WATER / REALIST TRADITIONAL ART / WATER MEDIA PAINTING

Hidden Jacoby Falls At Sundown by Gene Walls

I had heard rumors about this waterfall, but very few people told me that they had actually seen it in person. I recently got a positive confirmation from another photographer, who gave me excellent directions to the waterfall. He couldn’t remember the name of the falls, but he was perfectly accurate in his directions. Sunday afternoon I decided to try to find that hidden waterfall for myself. I had very few problems finding the trail. However, it was already after four o’clock and I knew it would be dark by six, so I walked as quickly as possible. It was a fairly rough trail in a few places, but for the most part, it was pretty “smooth sailing”. After about 45 minutes of brisk hiking, I could see the glen in the distance… and then I heard the muffled roar of falling water. I was really hoping that the falls would be impressive enough to be worth the effort it took to get here. A couple hundred yards into the glen, I caught my first sight of the Jacoby Run Waterfall. It sent a thrill right up my spine! I actually spoke my mind out loud… “This was definitely worth the trip!” By this time, the sun was quickly setting. I was now a little worried that the light might make it tough to capture the majesty of the site, so I quickly setup my tripod and started shooting right away. This was the very first frame I captured of the waterfall, out of over 200 shots in total. Hopefully, my photo will give you some sense of the awesome power and beauty of this amazing place! Please show respect when visiting natural treasures like this wonderful site. Leave it exactly as you found it so others who follow, will be able to enjoy the same pristine discovery that you experienced. This photo was captured with a Canon EOS 10D body fitted with a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L Zoom lens, at the 26mm focal length. The shutter speed was o.7 second at f/9.5. The camera’s ISO was set to 100. A Manfrotto, tripod was used with a remote shutter release cable. This photo has been cropped slightly (too much washed out sky at the top), but no post processing was required. The trail begins north of Loyasockville, Pennsylvania, along Wallis Run Road (State Route 1006). The waterfall is in PA State Game Lands in the Tiadaton State Forest. Watch for a clearing on the right side of the road, where parking is permitted. The trail is just a few miles north of Butternut Grove Road. You will know you’ve found the right place when you see the wooden plank walkway leading across a swamp into the forest. Your comments are always welcome!

Stone sunset by JordanDecker

When i got to Quebec, The night was young still sat a graffitied stone wall. The night creeped deep and still sat a graffitied stone wall. The morning light came fast and still sat a graffitied stone wall. The day sun was strong but still sat a graffitied stone wall. There was a beautiful sunset And still sat a graffitied stone wall then i took a picture. ..With my canon eos 1000d on my 58m lens

Santa in water drop. by MayJ

The refraction in the droplet is from a picture on a card placed a little distance behind the water droplet. The droplet is on a feather. No photoshopping apart from cropping and adding text.

Where I live we have The Dry & The Wet…it takes a special environment to handle 6 months of dry followed by 6 months of rain…but I love it, it fills the creeks and rivers, our water tanks overflow with fresh, precious water..

Celebrating life-giving FRESH WATER in the form of rain, dew drops, sun showers, storms, rivers, lakes, ponds, (no sea), fountains, insects with water on them, webs with water, dripping taps…anywhere you see freshwater, it can be added to this group!
