Fourth Early Morning at the Pond

As I have mentioned previously, every day is different, so I am being only partly repetitive to take you to the pond yet again. I might not even have posted this visit at all, but it ties in a bit with the next post that I plan to write.

Most of my photos are from a similar location – from the adjacent road. 

There is a path around the pond that I had thought might offer alternative compositions. One evening I walked some of it, and the whole path was lined with weeds and wildflowers. One of the main wildflowers was that noxious wild parsnip, which I am not about to plow through to find better sightlines. Besides, as you know from previous whinging, my body being what it is, I don't like to venture on long treks.

Palaver out of the way, here are two photos from that morning – essentially the same photo but the first vertical and the second horizontal. The sky was different than on my three previous moorings. In my four trips, however, I still haven't been blessed by that awesome sunrise that one longs to capture. Not that I am complaining, for I have liked all of the images that I have managed to take.


What I saw in my rearview mirror a little later on the drive home, led to my next photoshoot a few days later. Stay tuned . . .

  1. These are gorgeous! I like the horizontal one best. It’s always good to take the two orientations, or whatever it is you call that.

  5. Wow! You live in such a lovely location and seem to take full advantage of it. What a lucky person you are!

  6. I like both images a lot…. but I feel the vertical image has a more “dramatic” feel to it than the traditional “landscape” perspective.

  10. Landscape shot! The colour is marvellous. The shots just get better and better - as your ankle squawks more and more? I guess it is the price you pay for excellence. Damn, that's early out there.

  11. These do have a mysterious feel to them with those puffs of dark clouds, are the going or coming?

  13. I believe it's time for bed. My brain said 'picture' horizontal or vertical, not 'camera' horizontal of vertical. I didn't understand why the picture remained horizontal and even tipped my head to view it the other way. Definitely time for bed.
