A dreary day at the pond

The sound of silence and not a bird in sight. This pond is usually full of bird activity. It only took a few minutes to realize that the storm from hell was upon us. I took this shot and made a run for the old pickup truck.

Great B&W shot Ed! Good thing you got outta there~I can really see the stillness here. The birds were laying low preparing for the storm! Excellent capture! :)Ami

From what you said it must have been a bad one, but what a lovely Black and White you have here. Nicely done Ed.

Wonderful B & W, Ed ... birds are usually the first to sense an approaching storm even if it's sunny outdoors. I do like the calmness to this scene. Glad you made it to your truck safely. Well done.

Nature's warning of a storm! The animals even sensed the tsunami on the coast of Thailand before the humans did. They ran inland well in advance. Nice shot of the deserted pond.

Nice details and contrast even on top of the water. Good b/w image, Ed. Not a contest entry? I'd have liked a shot of you running for the truck.

That was such a dreary day, the storm zapped all the color out of it. Nice shot in B&W, Ed. Nice reflections.

Good shot and I like the description as well. It is amazing the senses that the animals and birds possess. They had Doppler before Doppler had Doppler. Good contest entry.

I liked Tick's remark about the Doppler. LOL.
Amazing how the back woods look in B&W as compared to Color.

Good Luck Buddy!
