tree reflection

The weather has been gorgeous here in Northern California lately, but the intense sunlight is actually not ideal for photography; low-light is much more preferred. For that reason I haven't been shooting a ton lately. But yesterday was cool and cloudy and lovely, so I went on a hike to see what I'd find. I did discover some really beautiful landscapes, but this reflection scene is the one that excited me most.
