A BIRD EYES ITS REFLECTION IN RESACA AS THE SUN RISES

(Ed.'s Note: It's often out-of-town visitors who see things we take for granted. This morning we were talking to a visitor from out of state when he stopped us as we walked along a resaca and commented on the beauty of the scene. As we turned and snapped a shot with our handy camera, we thought it was just the average bird on a tree limb watching the sunrise. Later, we looked at it closer and saw that the bird was reflected off the water as the sun peeked through the treetop son the far shore. A large thunder cloud was also reflected on the surface of the resaca as were the palm trees and buildings in the distance. In retrospect, this is one of those everyday scenes here that makes visitors to our area return for a second look. We are just so used to it we hardly notice.)
