How do you get water to ripple in random patterns for as long as it takes to get the many photos needed for the Black Water series?

First, find a deep pool of clean water in open shade.

Second, make sure there are large white sunlit clouds overhead (clouds are in the sun; you are in the shade).

Third, have a Jack Russell terrier (‘Munchkin’) who will rush around in the water forever, trying to catch … frogs? minnows? her own shadow? Or maybe she is performing. She watches me out of the corner of her eye to make sure I am paying attention.
