Laguna Tree

[Diane_Miller]

This tree has a nice reflection when our area gets enough rain to flood a drainage, but it’s not common for the sky to clear before the water recedes. The magic day this year was New Year’s Day, so I was out there before sunrise. The hoped-for ground fog didn’t materialize so the best opportunity will have to wait. There was enough mist on the water to yield another image, which I’ll post later.

What a gorgeous way to start your new year, Diane. The colors and calm water emphasize the serenity of the scene.

I love the feeling of the quietness of the image and it certainly fills the challenge.
Nicely done
