Water is one of the most wonderful creations. There are so many kinds of bodies of water and all are a vital part of our lives. Here is a list of 10 things that make me thankful for water.
1. On a hot day there’s nothing better than swimming in a pool of cool water or just drinking a tall glass of ice water.
2. After working hard or working out it feels so good to get into the warm water of a Jacuzzi or hot shower to soothe and relax sore muscles.
3. There are few sights more hypnotizing and calming than watching the ocean as its waves form, swell, and crash on the shore or beach. And then the sea life that washes ashore just adds to the wonder of it all.
4. There is another form of water which I find calming, beautiful, and fascinating: snow. The falling of the snow itself is a vision of peace and purity for some of us. I actually got to see it snow at Cape Hatteras, NC in March several years ago. It was amazing!
5. Although nobody enjoys a heavy rain in cold weather, I found it cooling and refreshing at several summer rock concerts. I have also been under a tin roof at camp as a youth and heard the rain pattering on the roof. It was amazing and made me fall asleep.
6. I love to take photographs of water when it is serving as a mirror, reflecting the beauty of a sunset or a shoreline in a small pond or ocean.
7. I do enjoy drinking water when the temperatures are hot. But when it is cold I can make hot tea or coffee with water. Water has such a variety of uses for drinking and cooking as well.
8. There is a place in Cary, NC that has several wonderful water fountains. I love the sound and the sight of the water as it shoots out of little spouts into the air and then descends in ropy cords of clear sunshine like wetness into the fountain’s basin. Enjoy the beauty of them.
9. Water is so photogenic when it is flowing; it has so many different appearances when in motion. But by slowing a camera lens’ speed, spurts of water look different than one would expect.
10. There is something purifying, healing even cathartic about water. I have taken a shower when I was grieving or sad about something and the warm water just open the floodgates and helped me to release the tears I needed to feel healed.
So you can see why I am thankful for water in its many different forms, appearances and sounds.

Nice choice for simple pleasure water, we don’t respect nice clean water as we should.
You have some very interesting photos of water, a joy to the viewer, thanks for sharing.

Since up to 60% of the human body is made up of water, it’s not surprising that we are so attracted to it. It’s like going home! Thank’s for the lovely thoughts and pictures!
