I think we all need to get away from our hectic lives at times and find a spot similar to this, sit awhile, listen to the birds...just air our heads out abit. That's exactly what I was doing when I took this. I hope you'll like it too.

This is a two-tone image - how wonderful, it is so green and blue. It does look so refreshing. . .
And, would this have been covered in snow a few months back?
Cheers

Hi Karen,
A perfect place to heal from a drying brain, being extremely used to survive the hectic life of city busyness and business.

I imagine myself making every single inch of the scene to be an opportunity for experimental photography. I would have a lot of photos, a lot of fresh air, and joy for sure.

Did I mention a crawls and sneaks for birding...

Very nice shot Karen.

Regards,
Ramdan.

You're right about spending time at a place like this. The view is fantastic all the green tress, the pond and the blue skies. What's not to love about this place. Great job capturing this nice relaxing scene.

If someone would try to describe this place to me, I would not have an idea of the beauty that you, so well, captured here, and that we are enjoying with our own eyes. Reading your note is also a joy. TFS

Hello dear Karen,
Wonderful picture with the different green tones. The colours and the light is very nice. Great composition and reflection.

TFS and kind regards from Netherland,

it's a quiet and beautiful place, the framing is fine, everything is fine although the overexposed clouds are a bit disturbing

Perfect title Karen to go with this amazing pov...
I love the slope of the land and the perfect lead in with the edge of the lake..

I agree we all need a place like this to go to and unwind!

dear Karen,
this surface of the water is wonderful. on it, the world becomes more beautiful than its real image, because it is the excellent natural filter to the view, that can awake our visual sensation for art from the sleep. fine ripple is a kind of magician who enhance the shining of all presence.
thank you,

Very fine PoV and composition with superb details and mood.
I think the one thing I might change would be to select the sky and adjust the contrast a little to make the blue a little stronger and give the clouds a tiny bit more detail

Hi Karen,
Gorgeous location wonderfully captured.
The colors and reflections are beautifully presented and the POV and perspective is right on.
Very peaceful setting indeed, but I find that I wonder what mischief is in the clouds in the background, so enjoy the peace while it's there; just like reality. ;)
Thanks for sharing,
Wilt

a good place to sit and enjoy. The curve in the pond is a good bonus. The deep greens with a silver shimmer is very pleasant. Maybe a polarizer would have made the sky an even more stunning blue. TFS. K2

i cannot help but say WOW, Karen.. what a gorgeous place.. so serene with the lovely greens. for me this is your best shot.. well done..
