Bird Rising


Another misty morning along a quiet river.


Yesterday in the afternoon I took this close-up, somewhat attenuated, shot of the river edge. The darker vegetation on the left shows the highest level the river reached with the spring freshets.  The stream continues to dwindle.

As I took the picture, a bird plunged into the river for a bug or fish and swiftly flew out of the water.  The shot captured the bird rising, with the water disturbed just below.  In the calm stretch of water downstream from the bridge, the concentric circles bred by that plunge went as far as the other shore.
