Suddenly there was Color

Wicked_Dark

The ragged end of winter isn't known for color so you really have to look for it. This beaver pond is off the trail and some bush-whacking is required. It was worth it.

Just a last scrim of ice still lingers in the shade...had to walk out on semi-frozen marsh grass to get it, but I think it just makes the shot.


The reflections were killer, too. Very calm. I hung around waiting for a beaver to show up, but they were busy elsewhere...or sleeping or whatever beavers do.



Comments welcome. Thanks for checking it out.

of course I like them both, but the bottom one I love.. I am not a fan of ripples in reflections but yours makes it look somewhat abstract.. lovin' it

Thanks so much...I'm not normally a reflection person, but lately they've been calling to me. Here's one upstream from this pond in a very quiet section of Pulpit Brook -

Beautiful! I love the FG pattern in the 1st shot.

Thanks much folks.
Yeah, that teeny bit of leftover ice just makes the whole thing. the shots I have without it don't work nearly so well.
