Photo Love: (Under) Water Colors

March 19, 2012
I’m living under water. Everything seems slow and far away. I know there’s a world up there, a sunlit quick world where time runs like dry sand through an hourglass, but down here, where I am, air and sound and time and feeling are thick and dense.
– Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler’s Wife

I love being underwater.  I truly witnessed a different world down there full of life and color.  It really is a shame that I am not utilizing my PADI certification and scuba diving more these days.  I remember when I first started diving, I was fascinated by all the different fish and coral in their varying sizes and shapes (I even saw a small shark once and swam away as quickly as my flippers would allow!) But there is also  beauty in the different, slower pace of movement (at least for people) and the ability to stop and really observe everything around you.
I’m not sure when I will get back to diving, but I do want to step away from the fast pace of my usual environment and really watch the (sometimes colorful) beauty around me.
Have a lovely week!

    A beautiful quote and exquisite photos to match. Thats so great that you have a scuba license. It’s something Im too afraid to try. Here in SA, we have a fascinating place dedicated to scuba diving called Sodwana, I think you will love it.

    I adore these photos and share your love for the underwater world as well. I have too many ear issues to dive, but I love to snorkel and live for my twice-per-year vacations when I get to go!

    I have a severe phobia of water – particularly of being underwater – so I would never be able to do this kind of photo shoot. However, I totally admire models who can! The pictures turn out beautiful.

    That is a beautiful quote and such gorgeous pictures, too! I’ve never been diving, though I have been snorkeling. The underwater world absolutely fascinates me, though it also scares me a bit.
