Love that zig-zaggy board walk. My feet are itching to go on it.
Terrific water photos.

One word, BEAUTIFUL!!!

I love the style of the bridge/walkway!!

My watery wednesday is now posted if you'd care to stop by to view when time allows.

Tracy said...

That looks like a beautiful place, Tricia. I especially love the little wooden dock/walkway.

Small City Scenes said...

I love the zig zag dock and the water and trees and reflections but the mass of Koi was very distracting--ugh! (sorry)

A fine watery Wednesday series. I like the diagonal walkway that I find very appealing. The fish are amazing!

Dharma Shots said...

Dave said...

mARTy said...

wow! so many fish!

Luna Miranda said...

i love the pattern of this footbridge--great shot! beautiful garden.

Jacob said...

You are getting to be a very fine photographer! These are all so well composed, full of interest, well-exposed, and sharp.

I think my favorite from a technical point of view is the skewed boardwalk. Just great.

Re the # of kitties: There are three! Hee, hee. Look again. Carefully.

Jacob said...

No, no, no! It's not the camera. Any camera can take a good picture if the photographer knows what he/she is doing!

I was talking about how you used the camera to great effect!

A good camera helps, of course, but it's the one that's behind the camera that makes the difference.

And have a great rest of the day!

Jacob said...

Hi Tricia!

You are very welcome. I've been reading Rockwell for years to get info about shooting photos, cameras, accessories, etc. In fact, I just bought a new point-and-shoot based on his recommendations. He's not perfect, but I think he more often right than not. And he's got so much useful info on his site!

Lovely spot. I want to go walk on that zigzag dock/bridge. I also really like some of your barn photos listed below - nice. I love old barns too. :)

Denise said...

Lovely shots all of them, I love the zig-zag wooden path photos and all the fish with their open mouths.

nanny said...

Cool shots.
I love the zig zag, so much more character than a straight one!!!

Small City Scenes said...

Hi tricia
Regarding my river shot--if you enlarge the pic you can see 3 fisherpeople.

and yes you are invited to be my sister my mothers daughter anytime--specially when she invites us to go out. LOL MB

TSannie said...

I love that wooden walkway, though I think I'd probably fall off if on it. Love your second shot.
And all those fish! They look very hungry.

Small City Scenes said...

You are right I did---but you are certaintly welcome--wouldn't it be fun!!!! MB

Ryan said...

Knowing my luck I'd take an unexpected trip off that decking and end up in the drink. Looks like a beautifully calm place.

Cheri said...

Beautiful spot - love the last shot!
