Pond and Cattails

For a number of years our daughter Sheridan and her partner Shane lived in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, so a couple of times a year we’d pack up and drive there for a visit. We’d always take our cameras along and as luck would have it on one trip we came upon this scene very near our home. It was still early morning and there was a lovely mist coming off the pond. We pulled over on the side of the road and I had time to set up and get a couple of sheets of film exposed before the sun got higher and burned it off. It was a great way to start a long drive and it served to focus my attention on what was possible for the day. It seems to me that we stopped and took several other good photographs along the way and I like to think that this first one of the day was a good omen for the rest.
