I passed by a pond of what I thought were all orange koi fish. Then, out of the blue, I spied a white fish with gold accents. A ghostly figure that I really wanted to capture amidst the reflections in the water. Mostly unsuccessful … he kept dipping deeper into the water. But what I caught, and what I remember, are magical to me.

I still have rocks to photograph, an acorn cap, and even the wings of a wasp. I am grateful for the “nature offerings” that people give to me with the simple charge of “try photographing this.” Today’s offering that called to me was a branch with many curled leaves. It is an evolving photo shoot that began with the branch on a black plate. And then, as usual, I wondered what would happen if I filled the plate with water. And then, as usual, wonderful things happened, I think.

… while peering into the Charles River.
I think I was tucked at the base of a bridge along the Esplanade trying to photograph fish, and then I thought, why not photograph the patterns forming in and on the water.
I have not been back to the river much at all. We’ll see what happens before this summer’s end.

… somehow, the scenes always take my breath away. With moving water, in this case a freshwater spring running into the sea, there is no one right photo. It’s just capturing fluid moments as the sun shines down, reflecting, refracting and all those other wonderful things light does in and on the water.

Just rocks and water in shallow dishes and …
even a bit of ice. My creative procrastination between papers.
Hope you’ve had a good day.
