Photo Walk at the Reservoir - #WednesdayWalk

After quite a few days at home I went for a walk at the reservoir last Sunday morning.

This post is dedicated to the #WednesdayWalk challenge hosted by Hive account@tattoodjay - more information about this weekly challenge at the end of the post.

After some rainy days it was dry and the sunrise looked very promising as you can see in the photo below. I have photographed this tree at the water quite a few times before and right behind me there's a large farm field or better said meadow with many wildflowers, where I wanted to take some photos on my way back.

I had a nice walk along the lake and through the forest until I realized that instead of brighter the sky got darker. Unfortunately a short time later it began to rain, not much, but enough to get wet. But that didn't stop me from taking a few photos on th eway back to the car.

The meadow has been too wet, of course, but I have found some nice objects along my path. This shiny Green Longhorn was sitting on a leaf right next to me when I took a short break in the forest.
Hive account@faltermann, please correct me if I am wrong with the name :)

Shortly before I was back at the bridge where I had my car parked, I met this nice couple of Tufted Ducks. Luckily I had my long 150-600mm lens with me, because they were swimming far away from the river bank.

I want to show you this little Daisy which was growing in the middle of the path. At first I wanted to use it for this weeks #AlphabetHunt challenge of Barbara Hive account@barbara-orenya, but this time I want to try to find some not so obvious things.

She is not as round as the other Daisies are, and also bent on one side. Even the raindrops can't make a beauty of her, but I liked this little flower that grew alone in the middle of my way.

I almost forgot about this beautiful small butterfly which I have found on my way home.

There have been big yellow daisies in a meadow beside the road which I wanted to photograph. These photos haven't become any good, but while I was walking through the grass I have seen this little blue guy which was sitting in the grass together with a brown butterfly of the same species. Of course I have made more photos, but these are meant for a separate post.

So, that was it for today, now I'm going to search for some D-things for the #AlphabetHunt challenge of Barbara Hive account@barbara-orenya.
