Did you toss a pebble in there or is this street? 

Or is that the ambiguity?

Very good seeing, Russ.
But haven't you used that title before?   ;)

Hi Bruce. I was focusing on the reflection of the trees on the far bank when the minnow grabbed something off the surface of the water and I clicked the shutter. As HCB also said, "It's always luck." That fish knew what good timing meant.

And Eric. Yeah, I simply didn't know what to call this. Now that I've had time to think about it I think I could call it "Good Luck."

Monet today. So Russ, have you ever waded in the backwaters of Florida? I'm sure the alligators would love to party with you. By the way, nice photo.

Hi Bob, No I don't wade in the backwaters, but there are enough gators on the banks of the Palatlakaha that I don't need to wade to come into close contact with them. We used to have a friend who'd swim in gator-infested waters. I think that's reasonably safe unless one of the gators has been fed by humans. Thanks for the Monet reference. I'm one of his many fans.

A few days ago, I stumbled upon a fascinating article on Monet. It discussed his color vision and how it changed as he aged. If I recall correctly, the article said cataracts may have been the cause. I am a tad bit skeptical--our brains are good at auto white balancing.

I'm thinking this one could go in the same place as the Skyjack images in the fog. I'm looking for ? and only seeing ?. It needs some "trame ".
