The St. Joseph River Watershed is located in the southwest portion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and northwestern portion of Indiana. It spans the Michigan-Indiana border and empties into Lake Michigan at St. Joseph, Michigan. The watershed drains 4,685 square miles from 15 counties (Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Hillsdale, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph and Van Buren in Michigan and De Kalb, Elkhart, Kosciusko, Lagrange, Noble, St. Joseph and Steuben in Indiana). The watershed includes 3,742 river miles and flows through and near the Kalamazoo-Portage, the Elkhart-Goshen, the South Bend and the St. Joseph-Benton Harbor metropolitan areas. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 1,524,941 people live in the 15 counties of the watershed, with 53.6% living in Michigan. The most populated county is St. Joseph, IN. The watershed is largely agricultural. More than 50% of the riparian habitat is agricultural-urban, while 25-50% remains forested.

Beautiful just love that deep reflection

Thank you! I have been trying for some years to get a reflection this deep (clear).

Lovely capture and reflection

Thank you for the wonderful comment "Lovely Capture" and for the peer recognition "Superior Skill" you are so very kind.

...this is stunning Ernesto...love the comp/colours/reflections :-)

I truly believe you know what stunning is after looking at your gallery and for you to apply that to this photo I'm totally honored.

Nice composition with good colours in the foliage and good strong reflections in the water.I would like to have seen a bit more colour and detail in the sky.

I should entertain editing this for more color in the trees and give the clouds a deeper blue background. Thanks for the "Superb Composition" peer recognition.
