Sofia’s challenge is to feature the 5 Elements of Wuxing, a Chinese philosophy – water, fire, earth, wood, and metal. We can focus on just one element or try to get all five in one image. The following image features four of the elements. I tried but I couldn’t find one with all five.

Our host Sofia chose water as our challenge and asks us to “please show us your water fun and tell us about it.”
This challenge topic is a subject near and dear to my heart. I have always been a lover of water. Salt water, fresh water, oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds, mountain streams, waterfalls, I love them all.
Lucky for me my husband Henry shares my love of water. We have lived within a few miles of the Atlantic Ocean for most of our life and are surrounded by salt marsh and salt water. Almost all of our travels have revolved around water of some kind. Usually, we stay somewhere near water but until this January we had never taken a cruise ON the water. These images show some of the water fun we had during our Caribbean cruise.

We hiked up steep stone stairs to see Trafalgar Falls in Dominica
We watched planes land at the airport from Sunset Beach Bar, St. MaartenSailing on a catamaran to a snorkeling spot in the British Virgin IslandsThe bow of the ship was our favorite place to watch the water as we cruised through the Caribbean
There’s nothing better than having a view of water from our campsite. During our twelve years of part time RV’ing we have found waterfront campsites in many different places.
