A Trio of Koi /  by Todd Henson

The Glow From Below

A recent trip to a botanical garden provided an opportunity to photograph koi just below the surface of a small lake. Previously, I’d created an image in black & white of a grouping of koi and turtles, but this time I focused on individual koi and kept the color. Each image has a slightly different look largely based on how the sun reflected off the surface of the water, along with the movement of the fish.

Graceful

It’s funny, each time we visit this location I never really think ahead about photographing the koi, and yet when I get home I find that ends up being one of my favorite parts of the trip.

Wipe Your Mouth When You’re Finished Eating /  by Todd Henson

A bit of underwater greens and some mud on its bill provides evidence this male long-tailed duck had recently been underwater foraging for food. I wonder if it appreciated me catching it with food on its face. 😁

Curious to see more of this beautiful long-tailed duck? Check out the following:

A Few More Views From Mount Sugarloaf (Massachusetts) /  by Todd Henson

The Connecticut River from Mount Sugarloaf

This week I wanted to briefly return to the observation platform atop Mount Sugarloaf in Massachusetts to share a few more views. This time I focused on the Connecticut River, a slightly different view of Sunderland (see my previous post from Mount Sugarloaf for the other view), and a view of people in the park looking out at the vista while I viewed it all from the platform. Looking back I’ve no clue why I didn’t think to photograph the platform, itself. Oh well. Sometimes I find myself overwhelmed enough with something I’m unable to slow down, take a step back, and think through it all. Count that as a lesson to be learned (again). 😀
