Autumn Reflections

Tucannon River, Columbia Co., WA

Ponds along the Tucannon River in Columbia County outside of Dayton, Washington, in the southeast corner of the state were brilliant with reflections of cottonwood trees and other riparian vegetation in early November.  While this is a tranquil scene, I would have liked to have had a pair of bufflehead ducks softly breaking the reflections at this moment. But we have to take what Mother Nature gives to us and fully appreciate that gift. Photo © copyright by Stephen Penland.
