• mother nature gives us great photographic opportunities in unlikeliest places, doesn't she?

• i love lichen and moss. in winter, the trees seem in 'full bloom' even when they have no leaves.
  what an incredibly beautiful photograph, sherri.
  Seraphine @ 2010-01-31 22:16:04
• Another beautiful shot! I don't know where you find all these great places, Sherri!! :)

• Looks like your part of the world is a little water logged right now, Sherri. Excellent eye.
  Toni @ 2010-01-31 22:51:43
• It seems there are lots of water around your neighborhood right now. Not the best thing but it sure gives many beautiful photos. Take care!

• 'The world turns softly not to spill its lakes and rivers.' - what a beautiful thought!

• When you think of this globe spinning on its axis, Sherri, it does make you realize how softly it does really turn, without spilling a drop. Amazing thought.

• loving this, and all your photos lately, just look at those icons on the side!!

• A conversation with detailed pattern and reflection. best...jerry

• Another great shot, where was this taken? I like the muted colours a lot.
  Scarabaeus @ 2010-02-01 09:58:34
• The silt laden water has such a unique color that gives each shot a distinctive look. Interesting high-water marks are left to remind one and all of nature's power. Fine series, Sherri.

• very beautiful landscape - great reflections
  yiannis krikis @ 2010-02-01 11:30:49
• What great locations lately!
  Robin @ 2010-02-01 13:24:21
• turn softly -- describes your scene perfectly Sherri. And from the quote I love the phrase, "... and can hold the sky". Yes, I love the reflection of the sky held in the water.
  Diane @ 2010-02-01 14:19:48
• I like the tree reflections in the water. I really like the title, too.
  Otto K. @ 2010-02-01 17:37:59

  Kala @ 2010-02-01 20:05:44
• Very nice image and tones Sherri.
  Andrés @ 2010-02-01 20:25:58
• this is really beautiful. one of my favorites of yours. especially enjoy how the reflection changes at the bottom of the frame.
  michele @ 2010-02-01 21:33:59
• i don't think its the first time those trees got flooded. notice how they seem to lean with the current? they go with the flow.
  
  Seraphine @ 2010-02-01 23:27:14
• Love the tones, great composition!
  Zing @ 2010-02-01 23:39:08
• Great capture, I like very much reflections. Beautiful capture!
  Andrei Barbu @ 2010-02-02 00:33:54
• this reminds me of the first time I met my in-laws ... we took a ride thru a swamp in Florida and I thought they were going to dump me over the side for the alligators!
  crash @ 2010-02-02 07:20:50
• Are you getting flooded out?
  hoi @ 2010-02-02 09:43:15
• Nice capture. Looks like the water is going down.
  Nick @ 2010-02-02 14:43:17
• this is one place where bear grylls (man vs wild) should go to.. :) nice capture.. :)
  rian @ 2010-02-02 18:51:17
• Were you in a boat? Be careful and don't get bitten by a snake. I don't know about up there but down here there's lotsa snakes when it floods like that.
  Dustin @ 2010-02-02 23:09:48
• Superb shot.. excellent composition..BRAVO
  THEYS @ 2010-02-03 06:37:57
• Tout les jours tu nous composes une belle image.
  Bravo et merci !
  JMS* @ 2010-02-03 08:44:38
• never knew how flood can be like this.... i agree with the first comment. mother nature does give us photo opportunities like this.
  Liang @ 2010-02-03 10:53:24
• Like a still life photo - of living life ;)
  Lovely color tones!

• Beautiful, Sherri - I love the soft greens and subtle sepias of the wood and water - nicely fitting to the prose.
  Stephen Phillips @ 2010-02-03 21:56:47
• Floods make for very cool shots. So many opportunities.
  Michael Rawluk @ 2010-02-03 22:58:51
• Such contrasts of textures. The layers are fantastic; the water provides a respite from tangled branches and hidden landscape beyond.
  Chris Cardelli @ 2010-02-04 12:52:18
• Wow love that quote! Beautiful shot.

The world turns softly not to spill its lakes and rivers. The water is held in its arms and the sky is held in the water. What is water, that pours silver, and can hold the sky?
