A cloudy day at the lake






On "tax day" I needed to drive about 20 miles to pick up our completed tax forms, so I packed the camera in the car and planned to take some pictures along the way. It was a sunny day and I got some shooting done at a local golf course before heading to Wyandotte County Lake. Unfortunately, clouds moved in as I was driving around the lake, and I thought I might not get anything good. But I parked and walked along the edge of the lake and found these great brown cattails still standing after a long winter. The gray sky works well. Reflected in the water, it is fairly ambiguous whether the white stuff is water, snow or ice. I always like the ambiguity. It lets the viewer see their own story when they look at it.
