Tim & I went to Bee Tree County Park on 11-07-09. It was a warm Saturday afternoon but getting late and Tim wanted to do a little fishing, as there would not be too many nice days left. Tim had not had too many opportunities to fish this summer, and the park is not too far from our home. Tim started fishing and of course, I took my camera, intending to find something worthwhile. As the afternoon became early evening, I decided to walk around the lake. There were several areas of fencing in the shallow water, apparently for protection of aquatic plants. I was fascinated by these little pens, and I've always loved water lilies. The fencing made for interesting shapes and reflections. I had to look for reflection against the dark trees, as it made a more contrasting image. During this walk, I found a milkweed seed pod which had been opened and the seed parachutes were displayed in a star shape. I was trying to get a lot of detail in the fine silky hairs of the seeds. Tim was still fishing as the sun was setting and so I tried to get some sunset reflections on the lake. I thought the flat water was kind of boring so I would toss a stone high in the air and wait for the splash to make a ring before getting the shot. Another subject I've always been trying to capture is spider webs. The one I found was not very big, but I liked the shape.
