What the Water Sees 3
The underbelly of migration. A blue heron that has long since left, layered with surface reflections of the autumn creek.

The Falls
It’s hard to fathom the scale of this place from these photographs but there are tiny avian specks in there – seagulls, actually – if you look very closely. The first image is layered and the second image is what the camera saw. This is the churning water at the bottom of a 165 foot drop.

The Edge of Winter
Yesterday – A snowfall and a pond icing over. You can see a little bit of open water in the dark areas – Winter is closing in.

What the Water Sees Too
Surface reflections and a slippery fish …

Dances in Light
These little insects caught my eye while they were out playing in the shafts of afternoon light. There can’t be too many more days that will be warm enough for them to venture out but today was beautiful.
It’s not easy to focus on their flitting movements – which appear much like trampolining without touching the ground – but I like the tiny sunlit shapes, and their delicate presence signals a small reprieve from the cold.

Wintery
Passing glimpses of yesterday’s snowfall – the first of the autumn. This morning the temperature has been creeping up and the short-lived snow has been replaced by rain.
[These images were taken from a moving car – lazy, I know…]
