Fountain At the Park

Geese and ducks frequent this pond at the park but they were all somewhere else today
Beautiful pond and fountain.

Lovely composition. I've never seen cypress knees before if that's what they are.

New to me too—cypress knees or whatever the heck they are.

Nice serene looking pond. Are those cypress knobs in the foreground?

Nicely captured- those stumps in the foreground almost steal the show!

@shutterbug49 @milaniet @marilyn @kjarn @wakelys @joansmor @mccarth1 @mcsiegle @randystreat @olivetreeann Thank you one and all. I knew I wanted those stumps to show in this photo but didn't klnow they were cypress knees "A cypress knee is a distinctive structure forming above the roots of a cypress tree of any of various species of the subfamily Taxodioideae, such as the bald cypress. Their function is unknown, but they are generally seen on trees growing in swamps."~ wikipedia They are growing beside a large tree on the edge of the pond and I will check it out to see if it is a cypress next week. If it is NOT I will come back and inform you. Thanks again for all your kind comments.
@montserrat Je savais que je voulais que ces souches apparaissent sur cette photo, mais je ne savais pas qu'il s'agissait de genoux de cyprès. cyprès. Leur fonction est inconnue, mais on les voit généralement sur les arbres poussant dans les marécages." ~ wikipedia Ils poussent à côté d'un grand arbre au bord de l'étang et je vais vérifier s'il s'agit d'un cyprès la semaine prochaine. Si ce n'est pas le cas, je reviendrai vous informer. Merci beaucoup

@grammyn Interesting information you added here. Thanks.

@shutterbug49 i’m glad you appreciated it Debbie. Several people mentioned they didn’t know what it was so I thought it might be helpful.

Lovely composition and Interesting stumps

When I saw someone mention cypress knees, I looked them up and checked out several pics for comparison, because they looked different in some pics than in yours and some others. There were several that looked very much like the ones in your photo. I’ll be waiting to find out if they are cyoress knees or some other tree’s knees. 😊

@rensala I am s glad you like it Renee
@marilyn I have never paid attention to the tree beside them before so will check it out this week when I go do meals and see if it is a cypress

I think they are cypress knees? They look like abstract sculptures. Nice shot.

@eudora I figure you would know if anyone would. They do, don't they?
