The months of snow lasted so long it seems an age since the curtain fell on the floods of the Autumn. Nature seems to be giving encores recently but only in excess. Wish for a long hot summer but beware. We've had rain on rain and snow on snow on snow. Perhaps a long drought is about to enter stage left.
Excellent shots Michael. I do think the reflected trees "come to life" more than the "reality."
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I like the dark reflections too. I need to bring a small ground cloth so I can sit or kneel without getting soaked.
That sounds exactly like what has happened here in the Philippines. Two huge typhoons and awful flooding late last year, and now we have a drought and our farmers are suffering.
Sigh. Sorry for the sad vibes, but your commentary is just spot on. Lovely reflections in your photos though.
I agree, I had to study the reflected tree cause it does look like the real thing. I like the angle created by the tree and its reflection in the first shot.
Love the perspective of this shot, the tree is meeting itself in the water. We had three years of drought that ended in floods too. We even had snow for goodness sake! Mother Nature can be very contrary at time. Kathy
Wonderful reflection shot! We've had a very hard winter too, the country was completely soaked, but it seems spring has finally arrived now and the sun has been shining for the last five days! :-)

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting. I like the dark reflections too. I need to bring a small ground cloth so I can sit or kneel without getting soaked.
Wonderful shot of the trees and reflections! It is good that the drought is over?
ReplyDeleteGood reflections. Hope you are wrong about the summer! It will be hard to get reflections with no rain!
ReplyDeleteThe reflections look almost more real than the originals.
ReplyDeleteThe first shot of the tree is just beautiful! Its reflection looks like a bent tree trunk.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds exactly like what has happened here in the Philippines. Two huge typhoons and awful flooding late last year, and now we have a drought and our farmers are suffering.

ReplyDeleteI like the way the tree meets it's reflection at an agle. That's a very nice shot.
ReplyDeleteLove the perspective of this shot, the tree is meeting itself in the water. We had three years of drought that ended in floods too. We even had snow for goodness sake! Mother Nature can be very contrary at time. Kathy

ReplyDeleteGreat reflections, the angle of the big tree really makes the shot. Beautiful capture.
