Shiny: Day 1 of 30 Days of Photographs III

Shiny can be beautiful.  It can also be treacherous.  Gliding down a creek, it's easy to become complacent as you gaze at the beauty around you.  But ignore what's lurking below the shiny water at your peril!  Moving water is harder to "read" than still water.

Reflections can disguise the small ripples that might indicate a submerged rock that can swamp you or a sand bar that's just waiting to hang you up.  Happily, the shininess only created one small "bump in the road" for me on Saturday as I kayaked with friends.  Life is good!
