Water plants in a wetlands pond enveloped by tule fog.
When I photograph in wetlands country I am always fascinated by plants that grow in the shallow water, and especially by the stark forms of winter-dormant plants. The background of water — often reflecting sky — lets us see the forms of the plants without the distractions that would render them hard to see in dry areas.
Here I had an added advantage from tule fog that obscured anything more than a few yards away from me. (Note that the more distant plants at upper left are already muted by the fog.) The air was also fairly still — or the fog would have dissipated. This helped to smooth the surface of the water, leaving just enough rippling to add a bit of texture suggesting the watery background
