p.1 #1 · A productive morning at a local pond.

These were captured one morning this past week at a local park with multiple ponds. I was hoping for some Heron activity, but that didn't happen. The Water Lilies and Dragonflies were out in force however.

Thank you, Douglas. Water Lilies fascinate me -- they are amazingly colorful.

Thanks, Gary.
Back when I was shooting professionally, I used to practically live at this park doing Bridal, Engagement, and Portrait sessions. I hadn't been there for several years until my wife went there a couple weeks ago to do her 'Letterboxing' hobby. I decided to tag along and took my camera of course -- it was a good decision.

Thanks, Ted! The early morning sun cooperated in letting me get good light on the subjects with the backgrounds often in total shade.

Thank, Morris.
It's interesting that more often than not, you and I tend to agree on our image choices.
