This photo is taken from the boat ride between Disney Springs to Disney's Old Key West Resort at about 5pm. The water was still, the reflections amazing, and you can see far off in the distance as the waterway meanders to its end.

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.

Hello Flickr Friends! I am so sorry for not being able to visit your wonderful streams lately. I’ve been very busy lately and will continue to be busy for a while as I need to catch up on so many things…
I was not going to post anything today and for the rest of this month but I just thought I’d thank you all for your friendship! I will still, however, try as much as I can to post even at least once a week when things start to normalize.
So here you go… this is for all of you… please don’t feel obliged to comment as it is very likely that I may not be able to return the favor. But for those who would do so, they will be greatly appreciated.
Miss you all! God bless… :)))
p.s. i will check my flickrmail regularly :)
Image is shot under clear winter skies in the far north of Norway, Lofoten. This is a mountains region rising straight out of the ocean at 68°, north of the polar circle.
