One of the ponds on Turkey Mountain late in the afternoon. We have had a good amount of rain on the mountain this spring so many of the ponds are full of water. For some reason, the ponds are called lakes. I’m okay with that. The sky is a little vague in this photo but I like the light on vegetation in the foreground and I like the reflection of the sun also. So I’m going with it and hope you don’t mind.
I’ve never been clear at which point a body of water ceases to be a pond and becomes a lake. But then, in Texas, they call man made ponds, use for watering livestock, “Tanks”.
I’ve often wondered about this too. We live by a lake… or maybe it’s just a big pond.
Nice reflection on the lake. On the Plateau the ponds are also called lakes and are barely larger than puddles.
So peaceful!
I love the description of the sky as vague, which I guess it is in a good way. Rich, deep colors, lovely photo.
It almost looks like the lake is on fire-very good shot.
Pretty shot! I do like the light reflecting off the water.
Magnifica foto !!!!
Hi! Your photo is very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
These lakes must have a lot of fowl in them.
It’s wonderful capture.
So beautiful.
Have a nice weekend
What’s in a name? A pond by any other name would ….. be as beautiful. It really is a lovely place … the light almost makes the glowing vegetation look like Autumn.
There’s a creek (when does a creek stop being a creek and become a river?) behind my house and I love seeing the reflection when there is no wind. Your picture reminds me of that. Enjoyed the glowing red plants.
Beautiful reflection and color in your photo. Looks like a lovely place to take a break from a run.
the place looks much better then the name says 🙂 Love it!
It is a gorgeous scene that’s for sure. All along our route, especially coming back east, everything was so lush and green. Even California that normally looks so dry, it was an incredible sight to see.
