Coot in the Water

Today I visited the Taylor Dam. The sun was shining and there was just the smallest hint of a breeze. There were tiny ripples on the lake. I was engrossed in photographing the reflected patterns of bare branches in the water. It was quite magical…seeing the magnificent in the mundane….when along came this little coot. He happily stirred up the water with his paddling and quite spoilt my carefully composed patterns. Or did he???
