The early morning wind was practically calm several days ago as I hiked along a Rock River path in Illinois. The forecast was for clouds all day, but a short-lived patch of blue sky drifted by a couple hours after dawn. Only several images survived the culling process upon review of the results back home. This oddball was one of them -
Cloud Catcher
The twig at the surface of the river is only a small portion of a much larger submerged branch, but here it almost appears to sprout from the sky itself. The clouds are reflected, of course. Their shadowy undersides appear at the cloud tops.
An observation: I used to get bags full of keeper images per outing when I first started chasing the world with a camera about fifteen years ago. As the years have spun by, the keeper ratio has dropped steadily to an average of maybe one or two keepers per outing. I can think of a number of reasons for this to be so, but wonder if others here have experienced the same thing. Thoughts or anecdotes regarding this, anyone?
