I was driving to work this morning and as I was passing the lake in Greenstone Country, I noticed a beautiful creature in the water. The water was mostly still but for a gentle ripple. I had to get a picture of this beauty. It seemed so quiet down at the water's edge, just waiting for this shot.
I'm not a fan of hunting, but I love shooting the camera and video.
Tom: what a great shot. You certainly know how to capture the essence of the scene. I can feel the tranquility.
I can see the attraction Kristine.
I'd say it was luck but I don't believe that. Take enough pictures, you're bound to get some good ones. :) Thanks Ronald.
Thanks Anne, it did feel good.
Good Morning Tom, and excellent photo to start a Friday and the weekend with.
You had our heart stopping there for a minute Tom....glad you shoot like we do. What a great shot you got too! Look at the reflection in the water! Nice job
Tom, That is a great shot! Love the stillness in the water makes a great reflection. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice shot with a perfect reflection, Tom! This photo has a real calming and peaceful quality.
Tom - Your picture reminds us of why it is so important to keep a camera nearby. That's a stunning capture!
Wasn't that place named during the gold rush? You might wan to keep an eye to the ground.
That is a cool picture. I would have never thought of swans in placerville! :)
Tom,
You made the right choice to stop and enjoy this special moment. That swan is gorgeous and you captured it very well!
Patricia
Thanks Al and Peggy, yeah the closest I get to hunt is the Safeway meat department. :)
You are welcome Keith.
Thanks John.
Myrl, I love it when I do have the camera or video handy.
I heard more money was made selling the equipment to prospectors than selling of gold found. Guess gold can be found wherever you chose to see it Robert.
I'm with you Chris, not sure where swams normally live, but I don't think of Placerville as the hub. :)
Thanks Patricia, sometimes the results make to photographer look good.
You too DeeDee, maybe we can shoot some more wildlife.
Beautiful, Tom! I also have shot video to capture great stills...I know you mentioned that in your subsequent post. :)
Thanks Toni, I will continue taking pictures to hear from people like you!
Leilani, I don't know about you, but it seems easier to get good stills this way.
