Waterlily

Waterlily

A neighbor around the curve has a small pond. I took this this morning. Didn't tweak it at all.

The swamp is going to sleep slowly. The cypress needles are dropping - soon the surface of the water will be covered with rust as it gets colder.

Thank you for your comments. Alandra -

it is the cypress needles that form the "rust" on the water -

I took this about 10 in the morning. The pond actually, was quite green-brown, and I wasn't paying attention to the background, only the reflection.

beautiful! these F 717's are great, huh! Interesting to hear about your area. Have not heard of rust forming on water in ponds/swamps during winter. What causes this?

We have a small lilypond outfront here, but no waterlilies are blooming now. Sometimes our pond freezes, but quite often it doesn't.
