The photo was taken just before noon. The water was very calm for that time of day; very unusual.

That is a smooth section of the river. There is actually a pretty good current running there but it still stays smooth looking. I wish I had a better day, but had it been sunny, I would have been shooting directly into the sun: that would work in mid summer, but this time of year the sun is pretty low in the sky still.

Terry! I’ve photos of some of this glassy effect on the Clark Fork with generous reflections. This is great. Love the reflections. That chunk of snow in the right corner is almost a shock after looking at the hillside. Great colors and depth.

That’s the story of our winter this year, Iona. We’ve had cold weather off and on, dark gray skies and spitting snow but nothing on the ground. The snowpack up high is very small and it looks like a very bad summer coming up. I’m sad for the trees, but I’m sure they’ve enduring similar conditions before.

I notice that there isn’t any snow cover on the opposite banks/fields!

Snow we haven’t had this year, Cedar. Our snowpack up high is only about half of normal this year. The storms from the Pacific that have hit California have all gone across the south through Arizona instead of coming up here.

And a very calm day, too. Finding water like that is a real photographer’s treat. 🙂

It sure is: seeing flat water always demands a few shots.

Beautiful and serene. Love the reflections in the still water with the snow chunks in front adding contrast. 🙂

The snow and ice along the shoreline creates a nice definition for the water, doesn’t it. That’s one reason why I have way too many pictures of that river in my files.

Cold by Texas standards, for sure, Silken. The temp was in the high 20’s that day, so not too bad for here.

Perfectly clear lake. Is it glacially fed?

It’s actually a wide, smooth section of the Flathead River, somewhere around a hundred miles down stream from Glacier Park.
