The Backwater

With all the rain and melting snow the rivers and brooks are running really high. As a result there are a lot of overflow channels that become vernal pools after a while (this one was still trickling). I'd have liked to back up, but literally just on my heels was another one just like this. Deep, too, 2-3 feet with mushy leaves at the bottom (snapping turtles??). Still, I liked the intense green and the reflection.

I like it too - very well spotted and taken.

thanks. can you tell my tripod was up as high as it would go?

So amazingly still and lush. Very tranquil setting WD. Well done.

thanks HBG, this one has popped up on flickr explore for me, so I guess I caught something people like. Besides us moss and fern freaks. : )
