Feels almost like an autumn mangrove...swampy and a bit wild. I know it's not - but I'm still not sure how much I'd like to be wading in that water.You dealt with the grey sky very well here too Jim, by including as little of it as possible, and used the light to your best advantage.

Jim, I feel you have given us the view a bird must have as it flies thru this picturesque park. Your colors are great and I like how our eyes are drawn to the center.

They're right Jim Bob. Your photo's just keep getting better and better. Congratulations. I like the angle and the reflections are great. You did very well on this one. Go Buckeyes and Missouri Tigers.

Beautiful reflections in that creek and the bit of orange leaves add some really vibrant color. Nicely composed as well.

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. - Hermes

Well, I can see the logic behind putting the observation deck where it was placed, and how lucky for us that you decided to climb it and take this great view.

Seems like a great place to start a walk. Do they also have a sun deck where I can enjoy my peanut butter sandwich?

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...

Over the years I've been to places like this so I can hear the "quiet", punctuated by a falling twig, chitter of a squirrel, birds calling to each other, maybe an occasional raindrop. Cool, a little musty from turning leaves, the stream and damp soil putting humidity in the air. An insulated Cabelas hooded sweatshirt and a mug of hot chocolate and this scene... what's better than that? Diggin' the colors and lighting and, for a 2007 photo, its quality still holds up well against today's cameras (2015).
