Lagoon Series

 

Lagoon Series

While at a Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Arizona, Jeff and I went for a morning stroll among the series of lagoons in the park.  Although we didn’t walk around all of them, it certainly has given us a reason for a return trip to see what the rest have in store for us.

Fall Morning

As Jeff and I walked a path around some lagoons at a state park in Arizona, the air was calm and the water still.  The fall colors of rich gold, green and touches of brown radiated a warmth that couldn’t help but infect the spirit.

Calm Morning

When the weather is turning from summer to fall, a walk on a calm, clear morning will cure just about anything that ails a person.  If you look closely, you can see a fisherman on the shoreline.  When I walked by him and asked what he expected to catch, he replied “Nothing”, with a big smile on his face.  Somehow, I don’t think he was there for the fish.

Nature’s Calm

It’s not often that I’m in the perfect place at the perfect time to get such a wonderful reflection of nature.  The reflection of the mountains, trees, and grasses are offset by the cattails in the foreground and the moss on some sunken logs..  It’s a perfect start to the day.

Morning Constitutional

Even the ducks have to get some exercise; in their case, it was on the way to breakfast!  The warm sunlight lit up the mountains and the treetops, while the cool shade enveloped the ducks and presented a nice contrast to a serene scene.

Mirror

Sometimes the most enchanting views are right at our feet.  That was the case with these sea grass plants.  The morning was perfectly calm, and allowed for me to capture what looks to be a mirror image of the grass.  It’s almost mesmerizing in its simple elegance.

Enjoy!
