All these years I thought it was the earths position relative to the sun causing the different colors in the water. Silly me! Here are some photos from my collection of water colors. I often use the ocean colors for inspiration in my beaded work.

Here is water off the coast of Guam, the very deep Marianas Trench:

Hawaii, Bellows Beach:

Judy at Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe:

"The Beach" Pi Pi Islands, Thailand:

Some where else in the Pi Pi Islands, we went snorkeling and were bitten all over by something microscopic. Maybe that is why the water is so pretty: carnivorous plankton! The guides tried to convince us it was our sunscreen reacting to the salt water. RIGHT...

Great Barrier Reef, Australia:

Kuta Beach, Bali:

Hickam Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii:

And the view outside my house a few minutes ago:
