Stony Brook This photo depicts a small pond surrounded by autumn foliage and evergreen trees. The water reflects the sky and nearby branches while patches of green algae float on the surface. Tall grasses line the edge of the pond, and a bare tree limb stretches across the top of the scene. The mix of reddish-brown, golden, and green hues suggests a late fall setting under a partly cloudy sky.
