Green Flow

Water clovers surrounded by duckweed. When the wind blows at the water surface, the duckweed travels from one spot to another.Initially, the water clovers, anchored by their stems to the bottom of the lake, move until the force of the duckweed current evens. Then they become static in the midst of the current allowing me to take a 3 minute exposure. The images were taken at a lake in CT.

Three minutes! Amazing study in time and motion. I like the view of the submerged plants beneath the motion.

The flow surrounding the sharp leaves is great. Well seen and captured.
