The Beauty of Open Water


     After months of being buried under ice and snow, my pond has now melted.  This morning it was showing off what it can do on a very still, calm day.  It was proudly reflecting the pristine white snow of the Cariboo Mountain Range on the other side of the Valley. 

    This mirror-like presentation doesn’t happen very often, usually there is a breeze that ripples the surface.  Seeing the Cariboos all snow-white and totally unobscured, is also rare.  Now, an hour or so after taking the photo, white puffy clouds are already starting to hide the very tops of the mountains.  

    I was glad that I had my iPhone in my pocket when I went out to feed the birds early this morning.  I am still very impressed with its zoom, that allows me to compose the view with just the features I am interested in.
