Floating Clouds
I was hiking at White’s Bog in the Pinelands on a breezy, early spring Sunday and I suddenly stopped in my tracks. Bright white clouds racing against a blue spring sky grabbed my attention as they reflected off the still bog water. I had to work quickly since the clouds were moving and changing shape every ten seconds.
I shot image after image - each one different than the one ten seconds ago, each one a unique natural composition. Sometimes the water was rippling in the wind, sometimes the clouds were just randomly placed.
It all came together as the clouds formed a circle and floated on the bog water toward some branches and lily pads and into the frame of my camera.
Had I walked by five minutes earlier or five minutes later I might never have stopped. Most of the sky was clear this spring day and I would simply have seen some sticks poking out of reflected blue water. But I happened to be there at just the right time - when a small group of clouds put on a show that captured the feeling and lightness of an early spring day in the Pinelands.
Spring has finally arrived!!
