I love the great opening expanse of water that's so tranquil, I suppose your preparing yourselves for winter over there now.
It's so much warmer over here, but not nearly as pretty.
Why where you holding out on this one? Great image great color and clarity. The reflections and ripples are amazing. I can go on and on about this one, On my desktop now.

The truth is, you really should see My Gallery.
Jim, I love the two different textures of the water, smooth in the background and rippled in the foreground. FAB-U-LOUS reflection, colours and composition.

Peaceful pretty pond with puffy white clouds floating overhead in a bright blue sky. In the distance I see white Lily's floating on lily pads. Very serene summer scene.

Wonderful cloud reflections, Jimbob. This is what I was trying to hang onto before Autumn showed up! lol It was only a few weeks ago! Thank you so much for this nostalgic view of summer with its wonderful blues and greens and bright sunny skies. I'll just keep it on the desktop as a reminder when winter begins to feel too long. lol
Love this shot Jim. The reflections and the crystal clear presentation of this shot make it top notch work. Say it ain't so on the fall scenes..... Still enjoying a few blooms here.
Oh this is ever so pretty, what a nice place to be if you had a rowboat and a pretty lady at your side! A little picnic basket filled with goodies, some pillow and just leaning back listening to the birds and the water. The colours are so lovely here Jimbo...and those reflections are awesome. Very very nice shot....must have been a good day for you..Verena
Doesn't matter when you've captured this image Jimbob. The only thing that counts is that it's a wonderful, relaxing and tranquil image.
The reflections aren't bad as well, lol!
Very good post my friend.
