Photographic Journal: Enchanted Lake
When I recently took this photo at the height of the azaleas’ blooming season, the park was filled with couples young and old enjoying the romantic sights. Naturally, most of them wanted to have their pictures taken against the backdrop of the vibrant flowers. As soon as they saw me with my camera, they politely asked me if I could be of assistance. So I accidentally became the designated portrait photographer of that evening. It was a rewarding and worthwhile effort!

I’m wondering where you go to get all your beautiful snapshots of nature…. Thank you, Andelieya.
Dear Judy, I am lucky in that I live in a fairly picturesque area that offers an abundance of good photo opportunities. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment! And sorry for my late reply! – andelieya
What a wonderful opportunity, and beautiful capture!
Thank you, Becky! Yes, it was just at the height of the azalea blooming season. They don’t bloom very long, but when you catch them in full bloom they are very attractive. – andelieya
It says a lot that others approached you to take their photographs. There is something about a willing heart that is felt by others. A gorgeous setting Andelieya! Sharon
Thanks for your kind feedback, Sharon!

What a beautiful scene — and framing the white egret in the midst of such an explosion of colour makes it an even more beautiful photo!
Thank you, Anna!
You have captured an amazing romantic spot! I love that reflection of the egret and the shades of hues of the surrounding flowers
Thank you, BlueBelle! I am glad that you liked it!
Romance is blooming !
Where’s this little egret’s *love* I wonder andelieya ….
Ah, you recognized the bird even from afar, poppytump! Although, there were lots of other egrets in the park, this little egret was focused entirely on food at the time of the shot. 🙂
Nice. And the water looks so still.
Thanks, lignumdraco! Yes, like the surface of a mirror.
I love this capture! I want to dive into the picture and stay for awhile. It sounds like you had a wonderful day! 😀
Thanks, Jackie! Yes, it was like a fairy tale evening.
This is really beautiful, Andelieya!! I can imagine lots of people wanted to have their picture taken with that lovely background. 🙂
Thank you so much, Calee!
