Through Tree Limbs/Watery Wednesday

Lake Simcoe just before sunset

A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.
~Henry David Thoreau

    I like the way you have the sun peeking through the tree's branches. Very nice shot.

    This is such a peaceful shot. I love sitting by a lake and daydreaming...I think lakes can be an eye into your own mind.

    I bet the Lake Simcoe water's still pretty cold, we haven't really had much summery weather yet, have we?

    What a tranquil shot. I like lakes and it is neat to find them scattered here and there. We have lots of small lakes out this way. Nice shot.

    i always forget about 'watery wednesday' but i have a water shot for today. MB

    I like the sun's reflection on the water as well as the sun peeking between the leaves. A gorgeous picture.

    What a perfectly beautiful shot through the trees, over the lake with that spot of sun on the water!

    I answered your question on the last post. Come see my rainy roses today!

    Aaaah. My favorite place in the world to be is lakeside at sunrise and sunset. I may have to sit and stare at this awhile. Perfection.

    Oh, take me there! Lovely scene. I have a watery scene for today, but not nearly as pretty (not yet written, still in the head). Maybe I'll concentrate on history since I don't see the beauty.

    Simply gorgeous shot! Love the small waves - the sun - the tree, a place to sit and let your mind wonder....

    The reflection, the peek through the branches, the water ripples - all add up to stunning!

    What a beautiful and thought-provoking quote, also. In ancient Chinese symbolism of the I Ching, the Lake is the symbol of Pleasure. And interestingly, Water is the symbol for Danger! But the lakeside is my favorite place, it's true.
