Oh tricky tricky Ms. Magtree! to generate a moment of confusion — HOW did she do that??? Followed of course by a rather abashed shah! oho! Very nice, very effective. I love how the watery sky world seems much realer than the “real” world, and the heron (or cormorant?) becomes a kind of Platonic reality of birds in general, bird spirit, shall we say! Lovely.
I rather liked that too… the way the water looks very much like sky and clouds. BTW, “Shah!” and “Oho!” you say?? I’ll have to ask you to keep it clean, Ms. L. (;
I don’t normally go around quoting scripture, but for some reason this image evoked a passage from Corinthians: “For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then shall I know even as I am known.”
I love the striking silhouette (and reflection), almost monochrome with just that hint of blue, and the symmetry of this shot. And it’s a mind-bender. For the first couple of moments we think we know what we’re seeing, then feel disoriented, then realize … aha! The sky and water blend so beautifully into each other.
Oh, fabulous!! And, though it is a lovely picture right side up, it is absolutely brilliant upside down. It’s amazing how much the reversal adds to it.
Ooooh this really trips up my mind wondering if it is water or clouds, up or down. Excellent shot.
Then my work is complete. Tripping up minds was my goal. (;
[and thank you!]
Now that’s thinking outside of the box. Clever woman.
Takes one to know one. (;
Just beautiful .
The lake never gets dull.
Thanks, you!

Beautiful photograph.
Thanks, Leslie. What a lovely passage. It brings a whole other layer to the snap. I’m so happy to know it touched you…
That’s unique, fab shot ;-)
Have a fantabulosa day ;-)
Thanks! You too. Fantabulosa…
This photo is so … calming and thought provoking =) #WW
I love hearing this. So happy to know the effect is more than its parts, i.e. wings. (;

Thanks, Allyson. BTW, this was taken at The Port. A spot I believe you know well… (:
