Hi all. Finally had some solid time to get out and about with my camera this past weekend and managed to spend a few quiet moments sitting by a favorite little stream of mine. I hope to have more time in the near future to get out with my camera and also to contribute more comments here. Thanks for looking.

Mary, I like the square format you have chosen and the way the sky reflects some extra color into the browns. Nice work!

I like the diagonals and the blues in the water.

Mary, where have you been

I've certainly missed your unique style and extraordinary take on the ordinary things that most of us just walk by. This is classic "Mary Dennis" if you ask me. Glad to know you haven't lost your touch.

Mary,

Nice to see a post from you. Ditto on both Steve's and Tony's comments. In addition to those comments, I like how the little scene transitions from reflective to transparent... a very interesting combination. I really like this.

Thanks for the comments folks. Much appreciated.

Tony--I'm still out here and I thank you much for your kind and encouraging words. Have you ever been in one of those deep dark slumps? Well, I gotta be honest---that's where I'm at. Can't really offer up much of an explanation until I figure it out myself. One way I describe it: my camera used to feel like my best friend but lately it just sits on the shelf being uncommunicative and withdrawn. Silly huh? I have no idea what happened but I am confident we'll work it out sooner or later.

Lon--Ya know, I think that's what draws me to these little water scenes. They are both reflective and transparent.

Hi Mary,

Missed seeing your pictures so I am glad that you are posting again. This one is a real mind twister. It took me a while to figure things out that made studying the photograph so much more enjoyable.

All the best for 2010.
