Beautiful. It's hard to imagine the grass is so green that late in the year. Ours has been, too. I even saw some buds and tiny leaves on some plants. However, the temps have taken a nose dive and I fear they have now frozen off.
The lone tree with the lake behind it gives us a bit of feeling for the cold swept shore. It would be fun to take photos of this tree in the different seasons.
Well, you got off a beautiful shot. I'll bet you were wearing a winter coat, a coat you could be wearing here today - for some reason some Canadians sent us a cold front and it was 37 degrees F when I awoke and has gone down to 34 degrees F since.
I really wish y'all would keep your cold fronts to yourself.
Love the tree! It looks like two merged into one. It has a poetic something about it, and suggests romance, even. Do you know what I think? You should use that one for a home-made card on your anniversary.
If I were a duck I think I would avoid the lake on a windy day like this as well. But all of those waves sure do make for a wonderful picture. I like that graceful tree as well.
Terrific captures as always! I do love the tree! Pretty smart ducks you have there, I would stay out of the choppy water, too! Hope your week is going well!
When the birds hunker down, you know it is going to be quite a blow. They stopped our ferry last night because of wind waves. Still blustery today. - Margy

Jeez!
that tree is art!
ReplyDeleteNice vistas, greenery absent of snow for this time of year. Though it looks cold.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like stormy seas. Odd how a tree can grow so close to the shorline but then it isn't like the Pacific Ocean.
ReplyDeleteAnd I bet they aren't there today either!
ReplyDeleteand no ice...
ReplyDeleteI love that lonely tree....the blues, the greens, the composition...the waves...it all says "serenity."
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Happy 2012!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, especially the tree against the water. Exceptional!
ReplyDeleteWhat truly gorgeous shots, both of them. Looks cold however.
ReplyDeleteEven if they hided, you shot some beautiful pictures! :) Yes, it looks windy!
ReplyDeleteI do love that graceful tree.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lighting...looks like a stormy, rough day out on the water!

What a wonderful spot for a good read!
ReplyDeletethe water is very choppy. The grass is sure green for December.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed looking windy out there, I don't blame the ducks for hiding.
ReplyDeleteHow breathtaking and picturesque - great shots! And I too especially like that tree :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful embracing trees.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to sit on the bench and see the waves...

This is beautiful. I want to go there!
ReplyDeleteHi there - nice pictures - I think I'm with you on the winter versus summer debate.
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - in a cooler Australia thankfully!
the lake does look a little rough on the day you took those photos, I don't blame the ducks for hiding
ReplyDeleteEven with the sunlight of day, the white caps make the water look mighty cold to me....ya, I'm a wuss when it comes to Winter!!

ReplyDeleteI love that first shot!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love trees!
ReplyDeleteThe water does look really choppy. I like how, in the 2nd shot, the water and sky seem so dramatic to the calm and quiet of the still tree.
