Nature's peace
Yosemite National Park: Ottoway Lake reflections, as the sun sets.
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.
John Muir

Mar, I got tired of reading all the admirer’s comments, there are so many. Did anyone ask if those ripples were caused by a jumping fish, or did someone toss a pebble to wake up that beautiful reflective surface? Wonderful photo.
Mar Silva in reply to Warren Mackenzie’s comment, 2 months ago
Hi Warren,
You are always so kind in your words.
The ripples were actually made by a fish :)

Mar Silva in reply to Lori Peters’s comment, about 1 month ago
I’ll take your 2 comments! Thanks :)
What I really love about this lake is
this is all natural reflections. And even when
I see it I can’t believe something is so beautiful.
Guess that’s nature! The beauty of nature and its animals
far surpasses any concrete jungle!
Lori Peters, about 1 month ago
I love reflections, especially in the fall with all the pretty yellows and reds.
