Description


The start of a Very-Hot day ahead - This is along the creek that is near our home and is about a quarter mile hike once I get off from the back-road - The challenge is to keep my situational awareness because this area does have its fair share of Water Moccasins which must be avoided at all cost! *A Caffe Breve did pair well on this morning :-)

Very beautiful capture of the color and light, Jeff with excellent composition! I've had a couple run-ins with them in Kansas and they can be very aggressive and down right mean. #10752927

Its pretty hard to beat gorgeous, glowing colors like this Jeff. What a beautiful and tranquil scene. Love the composing and for me that tree adds so much to the look. I think without it you would still have a beautiful picture but with it, it goes to a higher level. So pretty my friend. #10753924
