The Pond

This mini lake only turns up after some serious rain, otherwise it is a dry sandy bog. It is only the second time this year there has been water in it! I was lucky enough to be there when the frog chorus were having their Wednesday afternoon choir practice! They sounded so very happy. Unfortunately I had a bit of a photographic challenge, as I only had my little point and shoot Olympus camera with me.

John remember it is not the camera but the photographer that makes the composition and photograph. You have excelled in that endeavor. Excellent use of light, depth of field, color and framing. #11707926Patrick Rouzes June 14, 2018

Excellent work, my friend! I agree with Emile! Great example of why many of us always keep a camera handy, just in case we see something? <>< #11708863Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
