(click pics to enlarge)
I'm starting with another couple of Green Heron shots that I got after the first set in yesterday's blog...what I love about these, especially as I mull making a Green Heron closed-end flute, is that I have detailed pictures of the backside feathers...easy to get the side and front shots, but from behind and above is not so common.
Did watch this one jab and miss what was not a small fish before it decided to fly away...
A lone elderly woman was crossing this footbridge that I thought made for a serene shot...
...and a lone Mallard drake was doing the ol' one-legged nap pose against a desert of blue-gray...
Spiderwort is a gorgeous flower whose saturated purply-blue color was only intensified in the overcast skies...
As the sun broke through the overhanging mist, the light became better for some close-ups, like these dew drops (or rain drops) on a rose. I'm a big advocate of looking for the picture within a picture, hence not showing you the general 'pretty rose' shot.
And, lastly, a time to reflect...
...what is a set of dead branches sticking up out of the lake is momentarily transformed into a relflecting pool floating in space.
Again, all pics were taken with the ol' Canon S2 that has pleased me so through the past few years. As you go about your day and see something beautiful and neat, see if you can find your own 'pictures' deeper within...and stop to enjoy it!

Amen, Bob! Both days of pics, as well as your commentary! Thanks for sharing!
Even in the "darkest days of the daytime grind" (my pay-the-bills gig), there's even a "picture within a picture"! Thanks for the reminder! :)
Suzy :)
Wow, these are beautiful shots! Is this lake in Mecklenburg Co.?
Always glad to share, y'all! The lake happens to be west of Asheville, Bill.
