After seeing a photo of a reflection in the waters of the Fort Worth Japanese Garden I was inspired to try my own hand at a series of watery reflections. I picked a mostly overcast day with the sun only occasionally peeking through to give me the best light. There was an unusual serenity to be found in the garden's lightly ruffles water. I hope I captured some of that feeling.
Like a Rorschach test!
I couldn't resist a few traditional shots.
The inscrutable Great Heron who makes his daily visit.
I never fail to visit Gracia
With my new long range lens I hoped to get some shots not possible before, trying some different angles and zoom shots.
As the speakers announced the imminent closure for the day I found myself wishing to bed down and surrender to the stillness away from a world gone mad. On a planet of stranded and disconnected souls nature provides her strings and strands inviting us to reconnect once again. It's not our military that can protect us, only reconnecting can do that.
