Traveling a rural road there was an overhanging rock formation to the right and a deep body of black water on the left of the road.
Look where the water has stained the trees black.
More Reflections
Can you see the boulder in the water?Please be sure to click the badge at the top of my post to visit our hostess, 2sweetnsaxy, and other Watery Wednesday participants. You'll also be able to find the guidelines if you'd like to join in the fun!
Happy Wednesday Everyone
Edited: In reading comments I wanted to explain that the water you see is black. The green is the reflection of the leaves of the trees overhanging the water. This water is like a pond and does not flow. The water is black from the tannins leaching into the water from the decaying leaves that fall in the water and build up leaving the water black. It was quite eerie really; but I thought quite lovely as well.

Fascinating. I've never seen anything quite like that -- so green, too. Happy Watery Wednesday, Carletta.
Gorgeous scenery and beautiful reflections --musical and otherwise.
They're all beautiful. I love the outdoors.
Perfectly peaceful. Still, calm.
Wow, that rock outcrop is cool, and the reflections are very pretty...it's even a little spooky.
These are all beautiful shots, but something about that first one just feels so healing to the eye in some way. Just beautiful.
lovely set of pictures!!
That's my kind of road! Love the rock formations. I pass similar outcroppings when I drive up to Boone and they still amaze me with how they seem to defy gravity. The reflections on the water are beautiful.
Beautiful scenery and green waters.
Wonderful shots. I really like the formation of that rock ledge. And I've never seen or heard about black water before. Amazing!
These are lovely Nature pics! The black line on the trees is quite intriguing! Beautiful!
That looks beautiful !
I love the reflections, and that first one with the overhanging rocks is interesting. I'm wondering what kinds of fossils might be found there.
Oooo... your photos are outstanding... wow. I love the one with the rock overhanging, that one is gorgeous!

Everthing look so lush and green in May, doesn't it? Happy Watery Wednesday!
Love the rock formation. Makes you wonder what it looked like many years ago.
Yes, I can see the boulder, but I wouldn't have if you hadn't pointed it out.
It amazes me how trees grow in water like that. You would think the water would wash the dirt from the roots causing it to fall.
Those pictures are neat, especially when enlarged.
That looks like a wonderful road to travel...and the creek looks so inviting.
Great shots and I love the over hanging rock.
These are wonderful pictures, Carletta.
I'd love to ride down that road!

Carletta: What a really neat watery post. The black water does look so darkly forbidding.
I LOVE that outcropping on the right! That is AWESOME! The black water forest reminds me of our Cyprus Swamp when it actually has water in it. I do see your boulder. They are lovely pictures!
Wonderful photos Carletta, it looks like a beautiful place to visit.
Beautiful post! Your Today's flower post is beautiful too!
Very pretty watery shots.
Beautiful, serene images ~ nice work! ThanX for visiting yesterday (via Becky). It's a pleasure to meet you.
I love that rock outcropping! What a neat little road :) I sure hope in the summer that boulder is visible so no one decides to dive in that water!
Thanks for visiting me... I added you to my google reader, so I'll be back very soon :D
Lovely photos. Thank you for letting my know my link had a problem.
that's interesting, do you know why the trees are black, I would have thought green with the water not black?

Gorgeous shots, Carletta! Amazing scenery!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I LOVE yours and have added it to my favorites!
That is beautiful, and sets quite the scene for flights of fantasy.
It's such a peaceful and beautiful scenery!
what beautiful scenery... the water looks so calm. i don't suppose i would like to find myself there at night but in daylight it looks gorgeous.
I LOVE the first photograph!
Carletta-so beautiful and kinda of haunting too.
There is just something about the 2nd photo of the trees in the water that calls to me, Carletta. I really like that one.
Looks like a neat place to visit to me!
Fantastic pics, especially the second one. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers
