The reflections were like a pot of gold in the back corner of the canal that runs along the rice field dike. The dike and canal make a 90 degree turn at this corner, and then the water widens off to the left into a pond. There was a little breeze ruffling the water surface in the more open area.

Taken about a half hour later, this view is towards that same line of trees from a bend in the dike. A few Great Blue Herons have been using the clumps of reeds sticking out from the bank as fishing and sunning spots.

Happy fall colors and light to you.

I didn’t realise you got such rich autumn colours where you are Ellen. Very colourful and beautiful! Particularly like the bottom shot with the GBH!

There are a few types of trees here that give a show, but nothing like the New England leaf season. That is one thing I miss from the north, but not the cold that goes with it! That GBH was in a great spot. Thanks, Liz!
