Photo Challenge: LIQUID

Photo Challenge: LIQUID
Fela Kuti – Water No Get Enemy
The ordinary man considers solids and liquids and the energy manifestations of the material world to be vastly different, but the yogi sees them as various vibrations of the one cosmic light. Paramahansa Yogananda
Imagine how many aspects of nature we would miss if we lived on the surface of the sun. Without inventing refrigerators, we would only know gaseous matter and never observe liquids or solids, and miss the beauty of snowflakes. Wolfgang Ketterle
As Fela Kuti sings in one of my favorite songs – Water No Get Enemy… it flows through everything. This week’s theme on Liquid fits perfectly with my current weather conditions too. It rained all day yesterday. As I look out the window, right now, it’s still drizzling. Amazing. Water cleanses, washes, destroys and heals. It can solidify and liquefy all in a matter of minutes… and get this, it puts out FIRE! In my humble opinion, liquids rock; starting of course with H2O. Yes, drink more if you need to stay hydrated. Whatever rocks your body, just do it… love yourself.

From the first place of liquid darkness, within the second place of air and light, I set down the following record with its mixture of fact and truths and memories of truths and its direction toward the Third Place, where the starting point is myth. Janet Frame
When a liquid boils, the temperature has been raised to such a pitch that the evaporating molecules are sufficient in number and speed to lift off the air from the surface of the liquid and push it back en masse. William Henry Bragg
When I started this post, I had all sorts of ideas about liquids and how important they are to the function and survival of much on this planet of ours. We take our supplies for granted and we forget that those who live in desert areas or poor countries, have very little access to clean, flowing water. Water is the fluid that sustain our life force, it cools and nourishes our organs and helps us eliminate toxins. I am grateful that the challenge reminded me of this invaluable resource… Stay hydrated and remember to share.
This post was inspired by a prompt from WP Daily Post: – LIQUID – For this week’s challenge, share a photo of liquid in whatever state, shape, or color you happen to capture it in. You can go as big as the ocean or as small as a teardrop, as clear as vodka or as opaque as milk. Let’s raise a glass to your photos — I can’t wait to dive in.
Positive Motivation Tip: Our thirst can’t be quenched by liquids alone… dig deeper. There is more

Great liquid gallery and accompanying quotations!
Dear Ruth, I appreciate the feedback. Glad to see you here. 🙂
I love rain. And the way you way mentioned liquid and plated with the words I must say I am impressed. I am sooooo following you.
Hahaha! Thank you for cheering up my morning. Your comment made me laugh out loud. 🙂
This is oddly intriguing! So neat to look at.
What intrigues you the most?
All of your photo’s bring me a smile, the dedication you put into each photo is brilliant.
Hi Jackie, so good to see you again. Hope all is well.
Wow! Great compilation of Liquid gallery. The looks of every photo is stunning and have the feeling of refreshing atmosphere.
As always, I love the photos you have taken and selected for this photo challenge. The waterfall & stream being my favorites. You have such a wonderful eye for photography, share your secrets! You raise a great point, water is something so extremely vital our bodies, yet not something I think about often. I loved hearing your thoughts on the topic. Have a great week!
Whenever I think about liquid and particularly water, it brings me to the core of why I started running – water is life, and so many don’t have access to clean water. Water really is the source of a thriving community.
Water is such a powerful force. It is so amazing that it can do so much.
What a fun photo challenge, the images you captured are stunning.
I LOVE that quote from Quincy Jones! Music really does seem like liquid architecture.
Awesome! I LOVE photo challenges, but I may be a little biased considering I am a photographer 😉
Beautiful photos. I grew up by the water and always love having water nearby.
Agree on the importance of water to the survival of this planet. A good read which reminds that I should drink more water to keep hydrated in this hot weather.
That creek looks like a really nice place to escape to. I would love a spot like it.
Makes me thirsty just looking at the pictures!
I love water so much. When it rains, it floods my area but the storms are so beautiful. I could fall asleep listening to the sound of rain drizzling down my windows and on my roof. Such pretty photos you’ve got to capture that beauty!
I love the words you shared from Langston Hughes they sound so melodic and musical–“Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.” Langston Hughes
Great gallery. My favourite pic shows all those little pockets of air caught in the water stream. Really interesting.
Liquid can be so interesting. The flow is so relaxing. Water can both be peaceful and relaxing, yet it is a powerful force that can cause a lot of destruction, too.
I have such a dirty mind. That first photo of water flowing is giving me different ideas. LOL
