Shot awhile back out at one of my favorite spots at the Tri-Lakes Wildlife Refuge which is a short drive from my house.

It did start to sprinkle and then turn to rain but I got some shots taken anyway. :)

This wildlife refuge offers a peaceful drive and there are alot of places to explore by walking.

I used the Sigma 17-70 lens with the Canon 450D.

Have a good Monday! Thank you for your comments.

Great post Sandi!

I also have a Canon 450D. I think it was a good acquisition.

I love shots just before the rain or a storm because of the great clouds. You captured some nice ones here, to go along with the beautiful scenery. It reminds me of the Black Swamp area here. Very nice, Sandi.

Wonderful and peaceful capture Sandi. If this is what a 17-70 will do for you, then I am in. I have been saving to get one for a while now. Great post.

Looks like an ideal spot to relax and take in all of nature's beauty, Sandi! The color depth is incredible here and I like the little daisies on the right! Beautiful reflections and sky!

The clouds do look like they are getting ready for a downpour of rain. Love how the trees partially frame the sky. Nicely detailed reflections too. Fantastic shot Sandi.

Beautiful light and shadow on this fine looking refuge. Looks like a great place to hang out and wait for some wildlife to appear. Those clouds are really good looking too.
