Glassy Calm, South Padre Island
This was the view that faced me a few weeks ago when I got up early to visit the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center. Just after sunrise, the bay was mirror-calm and reflected a nicely-placed line of cumulus clouds hanging over the mainland. Within about 20 minutes, the wind picked up and the sea surface returned to it's usual rippled state.

You and I had the same thought today, posting a mirror like reflection off the water! Nice shot!
