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

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.
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.
