Paddle boats on the Lake

During a visit to a local park my wife and I sat on a bench under a tree beside the parks lake and noticed a moving light show of reflections against the underside of the overhanging leaves and limbs. I happen to have a camera that also shoots video so I shot a couple of very short (44s & 31s) videos of the light patterns. The videos below don’t capture the feeling of sitting there with moving light all around but you’ll get the idea.

I enjoyed seeing the dappled effect of the light in the leaves and on that branch. The paddle boats would be fun on such a nice lake.

The videos are fascinating to watch. I see why you use the video mode, single frame can’t capture the dance. Another step outside the box.

I love your “light shows”. Probably not quite as good as being there on that bench, but close enough to stay with me. All those trees are magnificent. What a great way to cope with oppressive heat.

The branch in the second video almost has the look of serpent slithering up the branch. I also enjoy turning on the sound the second time so I could hear the birds singing.

That is an amazing light play, I could watch the video over and over again, it’s to tranquil and relaxing. Your photograph of the paddle boats is fabulous – the reflection in the water and the overhanging leaves frame it beautifully.
