Here is the Arboretum Pond at the For-Mar Nature Preserve and Arboretum, one of the Genesee County Parks. I had fun with this one, as one can rotate it 180 degrees and get an an obverse view. But, for the record, I do like this view.
December has arrived ... the Festive Season is not far, our homes begin to "dress up"a bit of crystal here and there .. mine in blue of course. A happy beggining of the week to all.

I liked how the planting mirrored the shape of the reflection in the window.

Dawn clouds reflected in the surface of a wetland pond, Pacific Flyway, New Year’s Day 2022.
The dawn light is remarkably fleeting. The space between “too early” and “too late” can be extremely small, and on a morning like this one I might have only moments to see what is happening in the sky, find a foreground, create a composition, and make some photographs. When the light arrived and a small group of clouds appeared in the distance, I first worked handheld with a long lens in order to narrow the view and get some flexibility about positioning the tree. Then I grabbed another camera that had a wider angle lens attached, and I made a few photographs that included more sky and water than seen here.
I have photographed in some remarkable landscape, where particular objects demanded attention. But this landscape along the Pacific Flyway is not that sort of place. To be honest, often it can seem plain and even boring. Much of the area is agricultural country, and nearby there are large cattle operations — not the most scenic or pleasant of landscape subjects. But for a few months each winter the fields flood and migratory birds return, and when the conditions are just right magic may happen.

On a hike on the Asitz.
Sometimes you just need to wait a bit: When I looked across the little lake I saw some hikers walking along it, but I was too slow to take the picture. Luckily, some other hikers where coming and I just had to wait 2 minutes to take the shot :)
As I cut the top of the cloud (the real one) I needed to fix that in PS. First I expanded the canvas size and then used content aware fill to fill the blank area. Some cloning & stamping later I got a fake top for the cloud. Then I adjusted the luminance level of the blues and that was about it.
