My husband looked out back to see this Great Blue Heron slowly, very slowly stalking tree frogs or something on snow. The water and impromptu ponds remain frozen.
"This stately heron with its subtle blue-gray plumage often stands motionless as it scans for prey or wades belly deep with long, deliberate steps. They may move slowly, but Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher."

An incongruous sight on snow. And silly me; I had just put on the 2x teleconverter. At times the head or feet weren't in the frame.
Perked up our afternoon!
The droplet rises like a pillar of fire, caught in a surreal moment where liquid defies gravity. The interplay of red hues makes it feel like a flame frozen in time, a reminder that even chaos can be beautifully structured.
The first drop descends, piercing the stillness. A moment so brief—measured in milliseconds—yet so powerful. Gravity pulls it downward, and in its descent, the stage is set for a stunning liquid collision. The beginning of an intricate dance between time, water, and motion.

Backwater Reservoir is a reservoir in north west Angus, Scotland. The reservoir's sole purpose is to provide drinking water, and as such, it supplies Angus, Dundee, and parts of Perth and Kinross. Backwater, together with the smaller Lintrathen Reservoir 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) to the south, is capable of supplying some 300,000 people with drinking water.
The project was initiated by the Dundee Corporation Waterworks in 1964 and absorbed into the newly created East of Scotland Water Board in 1968, before final completion and the official opening by Queen Elizabeth II on 9 October 1969.
Scottish Water are the present owners and operators of the reservoir, following the amalgamation of the East of Scotland Water Authority with the West of Scotland and North of Scotland Water Authorities to form a single company. Scottish Water is owned by the Scottish Government.
The dam is an embankment type, measuring 42.6 metres high by 570 metres long. The reservoir extends for 3 kilometres behind the dam and has a peak capacity of 24.55 million cubic metres (867×106 cu ft). An unclassified road runs across the spillway and embankment before following the east bank of the reservoir. This road runs for a further 2 kilometres before coming to an end. The dam was the first in Britain to use chemical grouting to create a waterproof barrier below the embankment.
Balfour Beatty constructed the embankment and ancillary works. Soil Mechanics and Bachy Soletanche were responsible for the chemical grouting and for tunnelling work. Consulting engineer was Babtie, Shaw and Morton.
Backwater Reservoir is located within Glen Isla. The reservoir can be reached by taking the B951 turn-off from the A93 (around 5 miles south of Spittal of Glenshee) to the north-west, or from the A926 at Kirriemuir to the south-east. The perimeter of the reservoir forms a popular walking route.
Took this shot yesterday in Cornwall at the Downderry Beach. What a lovely place to be. On tour with my dream girl 😍

Red and black—the colors of intensity, mystery, and power. The droplet bursts upon impact, spreading its fiery hue across the dark abyss. A delicate yet forceful interaction, where liquid becomes art, and science meets creativity
