As much as I like to fool around in the City, I feel much more at home along side of my bucolic creek--my little lagoons--"Lagunitas" in Spanish.

Part of my fun is calling the rippled water "groovy"; a term that dates back to the last century when we rock-'n-rollers played platters called "records" (a flat circular disc impressed with a long continuous spiral groove full of bumps and valleys that could be detected with a needle, amplified, and blasted if desired at injurious decibel levels).

And the fun didn't stop there... In the old days we used the term "far out" probably a bit more than we should have. And even now although I am old as dirt, I still use "far out" interchangeably with most any positive descriptor. I think my beloved Lagunitas Creek is "far out" beyond description. "Totally", to use a slightly more modern term.

Beautiful photos!
Well hello HILDA -- I absolutely love your photography. And everyone who sees this should go to my sidebar on the left and click on "Hilda's Nature Blog" for a real treat. I posted a link on my Facebook page yesterday but didn't see a way to leave a comment on Hilda's blog. She does mighty fine work! Wonderful water, but all of her imagaes are wonderful.
Love your "Far Out and Totally Groovy" photos Don.
You are a story teller in photos.
That's what that means! very nice shots! I can't wait to get my first DSLR from the university I'm going to and try it out on water.
Inspired by the reflection work you do so regularly, I attempted some of my own at a local creek and have been posting some of the results over the last couple days. I have a long way to go to attempt your skill at capturing these small moments in time.
