A pleasant spot by maggiemae

A pleasant spot

Out in the country near a friends property which goes down to the river, I walked down a grassy track and observed the stillness of this particular pond. Further down there was a slight waterfall and plenty of water going down it but you couldn't see the current here!

Three good things:
1. I'm sick of the America's Cup - things keep going wrong. Its good because I'm not to going to worry about it.
2. Toast and peanut butter for breakfast. My once a week treat!
3. I'm going to concentrate on more editing my transcript of my mother's travel diary. Only about 16 pages to go of the second script.

A beautiful spot as well. It looks so still here to get those gorgeous reflections! Sorry you are disappointed in your team. They may still pull it out.

What a beautiful spot and you captured it so well. Love the reflections,

What a serene place to spend some time and collect your thoughts. Thinking about things you have no control over only ruins the experience.

Looks like such a peaceful spot, Maggiemae.

No use worrying about things you have no control over!!! I LOVE toast and peanut butter (but I add a little Nutella to give me my chocolate fi ; )

@jodimuli ooh, I've never seen that for sale! I suppose you could mix it in yourself! Delumptious!

@yonnie I can't eat chocolate with peanut butter but by itself it is a dream - some of the chocolate brands that is! Whittaker in NZ is better than Swiss!

The processing on this is wonderful.

what a lovely place and awesome reflection, the water is so still it's almost like a mirror. like you, i cannot eat chocolate with peanut butter although i have no problem eating m&m's with a whole peanut in them. peanut butter and chocolate are much better left separately. there's a new sensation around here, chocolate with bacon and chocolate with hot pepper. i mean has the whole world gone mad?

@summerfield What about icecream that tastes like bacon and eggs! Thats for real!
September 22nd, 2013  
@maggiemae - oh, yes, i forgot about that, and just as well. i had dinner with a friend a few weeks ago, and one of the featured desserts in the restaurant was vanilla ice cream with actual bacon bits. my friend ordered it. blech!

What a pretty serene spot to find. I really like peanut butter but it always sticks to the top of my mouth!!

Isn't it amazing how the water can flow that way? I was just at a little creek where the water was slowly rippling its way over a rock bed and then all of a sudden there was a quiet still pool of water. Lovely shot!

@summerfield Ewwwwww! What a perfectly horrible way to ruin ice cream!!

Thanks Pat- I'm going to go,easy with thinking about that - I get too wound up and then can't sleep! This pic is of a real wild jungle as you say - no pathways.

At this spot the pond's sufave is mirror-like and the reflections so beautifully clear. Lovely peaceful capture with warm gentle colour.
September 22nd, 2013  
wonderful reflection. If I could, I'd eat toast with peanut butter every day. My grandmother did!

What a wonderful spot... it is difficult to tell the real from the reflection. Just beautiful
September 23rd, 2013  
Nice capture!

Lovely reflection shot - looks like a great place to go just to be.

lovely tranquillity and colours Maggie. I just realise that most of the bodies of water I have been near to have been moving ones, but this is so calm...
