    I remember my mother used to love having fresh Cattails in a large vase by the front door, every year when we lived in Alberta. This photograph brings back a lot of memories for me. Great work Al!
  • I am glad they bring you some fond reminiscences too.

    this is my favorite of the series. the landscape orientation as well as the deep blue of the water bring out the warmth of the reflected sun nicely. well seen and shot.

  • You are so kind and I treasure your comments. AND

    Cheers, Al
