Some Summertime Scenes
The last few posts were about very specific themes … trees, water, mountains and then wildflowers. These subjects are common in my portfolio.

Water Reflections
Water Subjects – Part II As pointed out in a comment to my previous post, ‘water’ is the number one, most photographed subject … as a main subject, or component of a composition.
