Pond skater

A busy day, I just grabbed a quick photo by the pond today. This is a pond skater on a lily pad, not yet an adult insect.

Good capture of the bug, but I really like the almost abstract light coming off the water around the edges of the leaves, too.

@houser934 Thanks, I liked that bit too!

I love the swirls of water by the edges of the lillies. p.s. my August project idea is helped by the fact that I have a dog, so I'm sort of double-dipping.

I'm always fascinated to see skating along the school pond so it's interesting to see this one on a lily pad. As Francoise says, I was drawn to the patterns in the water too.

A grab shot it may be but I love all the patterns and textures you have here. Lovely shot :)
