Very lovely and warming post Sandi!..this is stunningly gorgeous! .. Me and a fishing pole on the end of that jetty, with a four pack and some sarnies!...then a welcome 'snooooooooooze'!
*You will have noticed that I haven't been commenting as much on your fine images!..This is because of the pains in my hands!..the constant use of the keyboard, makes this difficult..so, my dear friends..I can only apologise to you all in advance!*

It amazes me that the sky can change color in a matter of minutes. This one is very dramatic with the bit of blue sky still reflected in the water. That looks like a really nice dock you are standing on.Beautiful capture, Sandi.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

This is great Sandi. I only got in on the series starting with #6, but I went through gallery and viewed all. I agree with Cindy about how quickly the scene changes. I like the foggy look of the lake with the one clear spot to jump in. I see diving board and ladders on dock, but I can't make out what that is in middle of dock. Guess I'll have to go back to previous posts. You did good with this, it appears you just keep getting better and better. Very nice.
Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I do not get to your pictures as soon as you post them, I apologize. I try. Also if I do not respond for awhile it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you, it just means I'm really tied up with life. Bene lava!!

Love the mood color you've captured Sandi. The pier leads the eye to a soft but impressive sky color. Sun glare is well controled ... beautiful shot. ( One nit-pick if i may ... there is a structure rising from the pier above the tree line. You might want to remove that ... leaving an undisturbed treetop line.) Whatever, it's a grand picture.
ditto - what do you think ?! LOL
