Playing with Gold Sylvan Lake Walk DSC_5507

It was summer (well supposed to be but as you know........). There was rain and wicked thunderstorms on our Sylvan Lake walk, north of Queenstown.

 

I was terrified we might get struck by lightening or it would hit one of these trees, causing it to come crashing down. I think we did the walk at a half walk, half run pace. However, this little scene stopped me in my tracks. The heavy rain had accumulated around the base of the trees forming a pond that captured the fallen leaves and reflections. So many plants producing a tangled riot of form, texture and variations in shades - of green. I tried to imagine what the greens would be like during Autumn and my imaginings came up with this.

 

Hope it doesn't stress the purists too much!
