Most of the geese and ducks are hiding, but there are usually quite a few in this pond.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

That scene would make me stop and ponder it for a while as well. Nice shot Jim.

This looks like a cool spot to escape the heat of a hot summer Jimbob. Lovely clear shot, have you used a special effect here ?

You'll have to stop crashing through the underbrush and scaring them away! There's still a few left. A beautiful view here, a little slice of paradise. Excellent work!

Nothing like a good pond to get you in a pondering and reflective mood Jethro. The ducks almost blend with the rocks. It must blow your mind to see a rock take off and start quacking.
A wonderful shot and edit.

A fabulous view and beautifully composed shot, Jim. I really like the lilac tinge on the banks of the pond.

A gorgeous and peaceful scene with such excellent soft qualities Jim! I do believe you put some touch of some programs in it but I can't quite depict which ones. Outstanding shot and work!

Great shot Jim.

Hey Jim
I will sit here and ponder this moment! The geese are still not coming out! But I do like the reflections and those deep greens! Nice capture you got here!

Very scenic spot you've shared with us here, Jethro. The absence of birds is fine by me - it lets you focus on the scenery alone. If that was taken around here right now the water would likely be halfway up into the trees. IT WON"T STOP RAINING!!!!!!!

Great colours and reflections in this fine shot of the pond, Jethro. That looks like a great swimmin' hole for one of my Gators. Nice work.

I think I see a few of the hidden ducks peeking out from the greenery! (Bev Doolittle eat your heart out...) No really, I like the tree branches bending down toward the river, and the almost abstract, and very green, reflection... Nicely done, Mr. Jimbob...

Yes, myself pondered too on how beautiful this capture is. This pond capture is naturally well lighted and you did very well captured its 'pondering moment'.
