Motion and No Motion

Knowing the temperature was going to climb high today (I saw 102 on my truck thermometer), I went out early this morning, before work, for some comfortable time in nature. My destination for the outing was below the dam on the Wapsipinicon River in Frederika. Instead of paddling, today I waded and walked rocks as I looked around with my Nikon ready to record.

Several of the pictures created this morning were similar to what I have done before, but a few were not.

The first image has plenty of movement by way of water and bubbles, yet there were elements in the composition that were not moving. The white swirl on the lower left corner was made by bubbles circulating.

The next image features a vivid leaf showing autumn colors. Somehow the leaf had somewhat survived time on the water and became an integral part of this composition.
