Photographer’s Note
As I have mentioned, there's not much to take photos of around here this time of year. We don't get snow, so I can't do any neat winter shots. It's mostly just brown. I took this last summer at the Geenbottom Wildlife Management Area back home. I liked that gold strip they'd mowed alongside the lake as a trail of sorts. Well, I'm just kind of fond of shots from home. Sigh....
Hope you enjoy it.

Allô Shelly!
Magnifique coin tranquille et beau bord de lac avec les nénuphars et quelques fleurs. J,aime bien les herbes plus longues en avant-plan et bande jaune à gauche. Moi aussi je n'ai pratiquement pas pris de photos cet automne, pas assez de neige.
Cordiales salutations,
Emilius

Hi Shelly,
Lovely shot from a kinder season with both warmth and colors.
Love the wispy clouds in the pretty blue sky that contrast nicely with the gentely rolling green hills that reflect in the lake.

This is peaceful and beautiful and I can see why this place is so dear to you. It does have that 'homey' feeling. Very nice detail and natural colors. TFS

Hi Shelly
I like the layers of colour here. The greens and blue separated by the band of gold.
Thanks for sharing a bit of summer.

Hi Shelly,
as the old saying goes: "there's no place like home" and you shown us a beautiful part of that! I love the water lilies and that golden strip. Great sky too and a well-chosen pov. Nice work!
Thanks and take care,
Linda

Dear Shelly:
Some time ago it did not come into your gallery, and recent photos, it pleases me greatly.
The low point of view, there was a large depth of field, with a horizon well balanced and beautiful colors.
I like the composition with aquatic plants in the foreground. Excellent landscapes of you, as always

Hi, Shelly.
The low perspective combined with those water lilies and golden strip provides huge depth of field in a most peaceful, wonderful view. A pleasure to look at, TFS! Have a good day, see ya soon. HUGS,
Fulvio.

Undoubtly the golden stripe at the left is fine, but I like also the beautiful plants and lotus flowers and floating leaves in the foreground, they give a good sense of depth, and of course the sky too is attractive. So you managed to get a good composition anyway!
All the best,
Donato

Hello Shelly
I like very much the golden grass diagonal on the left. Incredible fluffy and smooth sky. Soft colours and great light. You chose an original and relevant title for that picture. Good job!
Have a good day
Denis!
