A surprise gift from Mother Nature in the early morning

Hi Hivers in the Amazing Nature community, it's been a while since I've posted in this community. As a nature lover, I am very happy to live in an area where nature is still well preserved. Mother Nature always has gifts for us. And I'm really grateful for that. And early this morning, she gave me a present.

I woke up at 5:30 today, and since the weather was nice, I decided to go around to get some fresh air and take some photos. And I happened to discover a very beautiful lake. It is a natural lake nestled among the surrounding woods. Sometimes I still drive through that road but didn't know there was a lake there because it was hidden by the woods. Until today I curiously followed the small trail from the main road and discovered there was a lake there.

It was a low-lying area nestled among the surrounding woods, and the surrounding small streams created it. After the rainy season, it seems that the water level in the lake has risen, so there are quite a few trees that have died due to waterlogging and are in the middle of the lake. Although I prefer green trees, the dead trees in the middle of the lake also have a beauty of their own.

I spent hours there walking around the lake exploring its different corners. And it is a beautiful lake in many different views. In the past when I watched documentaries about flooded forests, I wished I would get a chance to visit one. I live in the highlands of Vietnam, so there is almost no flooded forest here. So I was quite surprised because I discovered one today. Below are some photos I took of this lake. I hope you like them too.
