Find LAPC post #155! I’ll be honest, it took a while for me to find this particular post as requested by Beth; but, it was fun. I took you all around the San Francisco Bay Area and into the Gold Country–from ocean to river. This time, as we look back, I found some fountains. So let’s take the plunge!
We have a Roseville shopping center called The Fountains, but there is only one fountain. But, it does put on a spectacular show. Here, I caught the water in slow shutter speed, regular and through a crystal ball.
We jump from a fountain to water features. Look at the captions for a brief explanation of each.
Water also shows up in drops. They can be dropping from a faucet or riding on a pond leaf.
There’s also danger at a zoo pond.
Summers can get hot in the Sacramento Valley. Many cities have fun water parks for the kids. This young man is cooling off in a Roseville water feature.
As I’m writing this, we are expecting water to fall from the sky. Yes, rain and more rain. Even with all the rain we’ve received this year, they say our snow pack is below the “breathe easy” level. We shouldn’t have to be careful with water usage here in Northern California, but I’m not sure about Southern California.
That does it for this week. Be sure to link to Beth’s original post and use the Lens-Artists tag when you respond. Did you enjoy the many history lessons from last weeks challenge given by John? I enjoyed them all. Next week Ann-Christine will be leading the challenge. Be sure to look for her post.
Until then, be safe and resilient!
Slow Shutter Speed 
Anne These were great, Anne. The alligator 🐊 and the last one gave me a big smile 😃 but you had several really clever ones too.

Thanks Ritva! I enjoy photographing kids playing in water. I just try to do it from the back since I don’t carry photo releases with me.

Anne, your images are perfect for the challenge! I can’t believe I didn’t think of fountains! I love the water features and the water drops but the alligator and the boy are my favorites.

Wonderful Anne! Loved your originality on this one – you traveled from fountains to spigots to gators in a pone. Now THAT is variety. My favs this week are your opening set and of course Mr. Gator!

Thanks Tina! I thought of you when I posted the alligator. I don’t mind that I have to go too the zoo to see him.

I was not expecting these types of images and they are great! I love how these challenges can make us think of the norm, but then take us on a discovery of our art work! Beautiful collection!
