This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Water.’ See more responses here. Let’s see what’s happening below the surface. Here are some photos from my swim yesterday. Captions are on the photos.

Amazing capture of the opening pic, Graham, superb timing! I half expected to see lots of underwater photography from you, so thanks for sharing! That Moorish Idol at the end is beautiful! I bet you were excited to see it!
