The Things I See
Pond
Posted by Craig (Vacaville, California, United States) on 19 February 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
One of several ponds above the beaver dam. This is the same habitat in which I photographed yesterday's otter.

Love the reflection! It looks just like a real tree which was grown up side down! ^^

@Koushiro: I took this shot from the vantage point of a bridge. When I first looked over the side of the bridge the reflection of the tree amazed me. That is why I began to set my camera and tripod up. After I got the camera set up, the otter in yesterday's photo showed up. I was extremely lucky!

Fabulous colour in the reflection! You've stepped up from puddles to ponds very successfully.

@Helen: Thanks for your comment Helen! I'm fortunate to live in a place that has blue skies, interesting things to reflect, and calm winds. All three combine to form a decent image. It is really nothing special that is done on my part.

I don't agree with your reply to Helen. You saw the possibilities and captured them!
