well come along and join us – we are still relatively young and having lots of fun!! We have a new challenge starting in a couple of days and just like seeing what people can capture with these little wonders!!

SUPERB!
reflector replied
Thanks very much Prasad ! It was one of those days where the clouds added so much to the scene.

The clouds do indeed look magical! The smallness of the boat(?) out near the horizon adds to the scene’s grandeur. To regularly witness such beauty must be “awe”-some. I’m happy to see through your and your family’s experiences… ~ Landlocked MC
reflector replied
It is a little boat, and this Lake looks like the ocean to many people. It’s a great place and has so many visual moods depending on the weather. Thanks Marcella !

reflector replied

Bev Woodman
Wonderful sky James – its so rewarding in a sunset if there are clouds as they create this beautiful show of colour.

‘Feathers across the sky’ – like this description – pink clouds are always nice.
Like how these clouds also mirror the rhythm of the water.
reflector replied
Thanks again Shallay ! In full res on my PC that water has pink reflections of the clouds across the right half.
