It was a shallow sandy bottom, in the sun… really that color, more or less :-)

That’s what I thought when I saw the theme—although we normally call them “waves” ;-)

Cool! What is the second photo of? I agree with Marcia about the last one… unusual color. Ripple on :)

The second photo is just of a current-created hole in the sandy beach on which we camped during our Long Island circumnavigation in 2012, seen in the early morning light…

I especially like your first image – I felt myself settling in to a state of calm, just looking at those gentle ripples

Yes… it was that time in the late afternoon when the sun begins to decline, the colors grow more intense, and the air becomes still…

The first shot is beautiful, soothing like silk and I can almost hear the silence. The three make a nice collection of textures :-)

gladly! I used do canoeing on wild water, always wanted to try it on sea – I imagine it is not as soothing as it look on the pictures every time, though ;). And thanks you for liking my posts ;)
