The brilliance of all the fall hues reflected in the neighbor's pond always inspires.

The added ripple effects add an abstract quality to each photo even though the scenes may be similar. Waves are either created by the wind or from the wake of swimming canines.
As I view these photos, it often invokes an interest in painting them. However, the camera is quicker and more efficient at capturing the scenes. There is also less clean up involved.

Leaves seemingly suspended on the pond's surface also provide additional color and textures.
As the colors fade this season, my watercolor photos will come to an end. However, I can still paint these scenes. Paintings, while a little more effort than photographs, aren't necessarily as dependent on Mother Nature to provide the colors and lighting. That's just the nature of things 'round here.
