A couple months ago, I returned to a favorite hike in Red Rock Canyon. This particular canyon has water year-round, and I spent a fair amount of time around where a small channel of water was flowing ever so slowly across the boulders.
This is my image for this week’s Monochrome Madness on Leanne Cole’s website. Since The Daily Post made the theme reflecting this week, I guess I’ll kill two birds with one stone.

I LOVED your photo and info about it and, as a bird lover, I am on a personal mission to stop all this killing of birds with stones! 😉 There just has to be a better phrase?!?

Thanks, Tom! I was tucked into a good spot for this one, but further upcanyon requires caution (the voice of experience, or is that hindsight?)

Thank you very much, Carrie! With that angle, I was able to include elements outside the frame in the reflection, completing the story.

Thank you, Anna! In this day and age when attention spans seem shorter, I’ll take that as high praise when someone wants to keep staring.

Thank you! I used a very wide angle lens so I could accentuate the foreground water with that reflection.

Thank you!!! Getting those reflections was my main concern, and fortunately, I was able to get a tripod into a tight space.
