A recent storm, by name of Doris, brought down many trees and branches across the English Midlands. The semi-submerged branch in the photograph above is not one of them. This branch must have been the victim of an earlier blow, at least a couple of years ago, because that's when I first saw it and tried to get a photograph of it. I like the way the six branches of what must be a trunk or bigger limb project above the water, apparently seeking the air and throwing reflections across the rippled surface of the lake.
