When the water in the Salt Pond on the Ferrari Pond Trail is perfectly still, the reflections are like mirrors. Yesterday, as I watched this American Avocet as she preened (I think it is the female because her bill seems more curved so I’ll use that pronoun) while standing in the shallow pond, I was amazed at how identical the reflection was to the real bird. And the blue sky reflected perfectly in the pond as well, creating a very even colored background. If it weren’t for the barely visible specks scattered on the pond’s surface, you’d almost think this is not real…but it is.
Carol – Which side is up? Another great photo to bring joy to my morning. Love from your big brother!
Wow, it is a perfect reflection. Great shot.
