Low Water Reveals

Posted by Mike on

Delta Lake State Park

It was another beautiful evening at Delta Lake. A little crowded for my liking, but it isn’t like I can kick them out, right? I can’t kick them out? No, I know, I can’t. It would have been a perfect sunset to capture the trees on the point in the corner of the beach area but it looked like a family had taken up residence there so I searched for a different view.

The extremely low water level has exposed quite a lot of the shoreline. Normally, the big rock in this image is barely visible in the water. The water in the lake will not be back to normal until next Spring. I’m hoping for another good sunset today and maybe if I’m lucky there will not be anyone out on the point. I would love another capture of those trees backlit by the sunset.

Floral, Macro

When I go for a walk around the neighborhood there is one section of my route where the street has a fairly wide meridian. The city has built stone flower gardens every 30-40 yards in the meridian. They do a fairly good job of keeping the gardens filled with flowers, changing out the varieties as the season changes. I noticed the colorful arrangements currently on display last weekend as I returned from a trip to the store.

I attached the macro lens to the camera and headed out after feeding the cats hoping for a chance to capture some different flowers. I’m sure the drivers passing by wondered what that guy was doing kneeling down next to the gardens but I was unwinding from the day in the bet way possible.
