Pretty nice abstract art, eh? Well, it took no more talent than an ability to sit in a river with a waterproof camera, aim it up, and snap.
I got so excited when I saw the neat photos I could take under the clear waters of the Frio and the Nueces over the 4th of July weekend, that I just couldn't stop. I won't show you all of them here, but just some of my favorites. (By the way, I was able to use a couple more on my last
Wordless Wednesday posts.)
What a beautiful, usually unseen and un-noticed world they reveal!

| sun-dappled rocks were a particular favorite |
 |
| the Nueces at Chalk Bluff has lots of graceful fuzzy plants on its bed |
 |
| the plants under the Frio near our take-out looked less aquatic |

Such fun! I can't wait to take my little camera snorkeling! I might not ever come up for air! We had such fun snorkeling off Key Largo, and, especially,
in Hawaii. But there are no photographic records of these fabulous worlds. Ocean snorkeling again is definitely on my retirement travel list...but in the meantime the rivers will do just fine.
