Nice Photography and idea! Cheers! Great pictures, Les!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos today Les. Those fish do look like they are flying, very clever reflection. :)

ReplyDeleteClever post--especially after I realized that it said "fly" not "fry." I was confused for a moment...
ReplyDeleteIs that a backyard pond, Les? I'm assuming it's a reflection and not a double exposure (you use a digital, right?)--anyway, great photos. What happens to the fish when it gets cold?
ReplyDeleteChandramouli,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments.
Racquel,
Thanks!
Jo,
I know you were here, sorry I did not take it down sooner, I've been busy. I had not thought of the four elements, but it works.
David,
Sorry for the confusion. In these parts you usually see fish and fry in a sentence long before fish and fly.
Cosmo,
It is a backyard pond, my first big garden project after we moved in 13 years ago. The shots were taken with my trusty point and shoot Samsung. The fish stay there all winter, if it gets really cold I put a bird bath heater in the water just to keep an air hole on the surface.
Les
Hiya Les,
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for the season.
Your Christmas Card is here.
LOL! fun pictures (also very pretty)
ReplyDeleteLes, reading this title after your comment, I expected to see your bald eagles dueling over a fish. This is cool too. I love how your reflection looks like a double exposure. Nature works on so many levels as does art.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you and your family!
Jo,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I am afraid I did not send you, or anyone else a card.
Anne,
Thanks, I had fun taking them.
Sarah,
I am a big fan of M. C. Escher and this reminded me of some of the drawings he did of fish in ponds, or of puddles and reflections, not that I am comparing myself to him.
Les
