Boy Did We Have Rain

This is a little trickle near our house most of the year but today it is a waterfall. Today is an Important day for me...my oldest son's 46th birthday. 46 years ago I was laboring in Honolulu where my husband was stationed in the army with sounds of fire crackers exploding outside the walls of the labor room celebrating the coming of a new year. Happy New Year to all and thanks for all the support yu have given me in 2011
Great water capture Jane. Glad to see your camera working!!! And Happy Birthday to your son. My "boys" are 41 and 35 ... Where do the years go?

Oh how exciting - a baby for the new year! I think all mothers should get a little treat on their children's birthdays - they had to work hard for the event!

I went into labor today too, 15 years ago. Twins ended up being born on Jan 2nd! Great silky water!

@twinsplusone happy birthday to them! Mine was born today....ironically squeaking in before the New Year for a tax advantage when we had so little money that it was irrelevant

Wow such a great story. Lovely photo. You can take a night off tonight!

love the caption on it. it tells a wonderful story. i love the water in this picture! but i must ask... how did you get the water to look like that? My only concluding thoughts would be a longer exposure time?

@shyanewiegers I will check what the shutter speed was and get back to you. I know I tried a bunch of different shutter speeds and some were slower than this, but I liked this the best

Love the great sense of movement in your water shot! And a very Happy Birthday to your son!

Excellent catch.

Congratulations and happy birthday to your son. I bet fire works always remind you of that time. The water looks so clean and cold.

Oh, I have to do long exposure on water too - it's beautiful!
