This little pond, surrounded by cattails, serves as an suburban sanctuary for marsh and water birds. Sadly, it may die this summer. Apparently, given the current economic conditions, the city of Colorado Springs will not maintain the Ute Valley Park pond. I'm hoping that summer brings clouds like the one above to replenish this pond. I'll be watching this sky.

Outstanding capture. This is so beautiful. I know I'm a broken record, continually gushing over your photographs, but you know you're too talented that's why.
Wonderful Colorado image. I remember the big skys over the plains. I hope the pond does make it.
Now that is an awesome photo!!!! Happy SWF!
Great dramatic picture. I hope that the pond makes it.
It would be a tragic loss to loose such a treasure.
Oh this is just a fabulous capture, stunning.
I love it. The clouds look so low very cool.
That would be a shame if they let the pond die. Beautiful photograph, hopefully it won't be the last!
Wow...double Wow! I think this is the most dramatic sky I've ever seen on Skywatch. Amazing capture. And the composition and lighting...well ditto!
Russ, what a spectacular sky! The colours are so soft and the composition of the clouds is great. The photo looks like a waterpainting.Thanks for showing. It's a pity that the pond is going to die, due to the economical crisis.
Thanks for your kind words!
the sky is stunning, the touch of color blue spread across the whole scenery
I do hope it survives. Such a beautiful spot.
Very dramatic. I love it.
That is sad indeed. Russ, this photo is amazingly beautiful. The colours and that cloud...
This is stunning! I, too, hope the pond survives.
Awesome. The clouds is amazing, so beautiful. nice post for SWF. Have a nice day..
So beautiful. I hope the economy picks back up if nothing else just to save places like this.
I hate you more and more every photo!
;-)
Absolutely stunning, gorgeous shot, Russ! Have a great weekend!
Terrific shot!!
All the lines; the direction/movement of the clouds and the foreground grass, give the feeling the scene is about to be sucked into a vacuum...
Very dramatic.
Thanks everyone!
