A snippet of nature that made me pause as I wandered the edge of a pond.

Green Heron Silhouette
Sometimes the light just isn’t with you.
But you like the subject. A Green Heron on a gnarly branch worked for me.
I took the color out of the first two, but left the duckweed green in this last one.
Grass Triangles With Dragonfly
Triangles of grass and their reflections caught my eye.
The dragonfly was a bonus.
Gardenia Blossom, After A Rain
Open Magnolia Blossom, After a Rain
Freshly dampened by the rain, this Magnolia Blossom was reaching for the sky.
And from a  little different angle.
Statue and Friends
The grounds around Magnolia Plantation and Gardens are dotted with decorative statues. Look close and you will see an alligator tail and a turtle to the right of this lady, sharing the view of the pond.
Twig Symbol
Symbol of what I do not know, maybe nature saying hello.
Rising From The Pond, Three Artsy Views
This dead tree trunk with its roots sticking up was laid out in a pond where a dike made a sharp turn giving me different options for angles and reflections.
The first view shows off the “spines” made of the tree limbs and green reflections from a tree line, making the whole thing look like a prehistoric monster.
From a bit further on the spines are hidden, there was no background reflection and I got the impression of antlers.
From the far side, reeds at the edge of the pond came into play and the shifting clouds made an interesting reflection.
Tree Frog Photobomber
We had some rain last night which left a few water drops on flowers along the river bank at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens.
Regrettably I did not see the Tree Frog at the time.
Although if I had I probably would have 100 images, not just four or five of a flower I have photographed before.
Ravenel Bridge, Another View
This is a somewhat artsy presentation of the Ravenel Bridge through a monument at Magnolia Cemetery.
