Default Around the Lake

Just some different pics that I took while taking a short walk around the lake. (Look, NO kids! lol)

My son spotted this on the way home so I let him point my camera out the window as we were driving to take the picture, lol

Beutiful colours and excellent DoF in the first three. I love the suculent berries and the sharp focusing is great too.
Wow That rainbow is gorgeous. I just love the softness of the colours.
This is lovely set of photographs Ruthie.

beautiful bright colors, soft bokeh and excellent comp..something about those red berries and the dark green really pop .. the cat tail has a great BG light and dark... and having shot a rainbow recently and not getting it bright enough, I LOVE yours.. really pretty

excellent set Ruthie, and good job w/flickr !

Vin

These are all really great shots. I love the bokeh in the second.

My vote is for the 3rd one - so much depth and detail, it almost looks 3-D! Very well done set.

Harsh, I thought there were only six colors in a rainbow so you've taught me something new
