Ron LeValley photographed a pair of Water Striders mating on a pond. Look closely at the surface tension of the water - trees are reflected.
Water Striders are bugs that can literally walk on water. They eat insects on the surface of the water.
Beauty surrounds us if we but pause to notice. Lucky for us that Ron has allowed me to share his photo here. To see much more of Ron's photography, here is his website: http://www.levalleyphoto.com/home/
Great Blue Herons are year-round residents of the Mendonoma Coast. They are particularly graceful when they liftoff for flight. Paul Brewer caught magic the other day. Paul's photo looks like a painting.
And below a Great Blue Heron has caught an eel. I love the way the bird is reflected in the water.
Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's photography, here's the link to his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/
