We don't visit the portion of the Riverwalk Trail by the arena often enough, so we made amends on Wednesday. While we often confine ourselves to the main, broad trail, we took a short subsidiary offshoot down to the river which is running very low. Actually, this is a distributary of the river that flows around McArthur island (other bank in photo).
This selfie shows a somewhat similar view but with much better foreground. 😎
We returned to the main trail, and I eventually took one more photo of a well-lit little Y-shaped branch of young sumac, or at least a Y within a Y with another Y behind. It stood there shimmering at me and demanding to be photographed. What a nerve!
Lovely nervy sumac, and I particularly liked your first photo...er, I mean your selfie of course!
ReplyDeleteThe color here is fantastic -- brilliant blue, bright gold. It's a wonderful series of images and a great place to see.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful fall trek.
ReplyDeleteWonderful reflections! And the geese! And the glowing sumac!
ReplyDeleteOh yes. The foreground is much better! Sumacs have a lot of hutzpah..
ReplyDeleteI think I need a walk in the woods like that. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had wished our sumacs had kept some leaves, but they have been determined to turn into 'bone' trees!
ReplyDeleteThese are so wonderfully captured, especially with a magnificent cell phone!
The geese! They are noisy when they fly over here; I wonder if they're sending directions or just "chatting." Lovely leaves, still hanging on!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, dear friend!
ReplyDeleteThose geese didn't make it down here yet but it won't be long before we hear their honks.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling too hot here in Hawaii right now and just looking at your photos cooled me off. I used to love seeing those Canadian geese when living in Illinois.
ReplyDeleteThe sight and sound of a skein of geese over the quiet river must have been unforgettable.
ReplyDeleteI especially love photos which capture reflections. These are beauties!
ReplyDeleteGeese don't give you much time to make decisions on photo choices.
ReplyDeleteLove the sound and sight of the geese, even when southbound and leaving us for warmer climes. Um, about that foreground?
ReplyDeleteEven in Kansas, I can hear the geese before I see them flying overhead. I didn't know they were called "skeins." I thought they were flocks. Maybe they change their group name as they head to the southern U.S. where everybody says "ya'all." The movie Fly Away Home is so cool. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteIIRC they are skeins in the air and gaggles on the ground
