Help--I need photo references

[wolf_Q]

I'm doing a pet portrait and I need some help finding a good photo reference of a pond. See the photo (attached). I need to make the kiddie pool be a pond (maybe with water lilies) instead. Where the kitties paws are resting would be grass, then dirt/rock down to the edge of the water. The photo is black and white, but the drawing will be in color, so I'd need color photos. Preferably the bigger the better as this is going to be a large drawing so I need lots of detail to look at. Also if anyone has a photo of a cat crouching in a similar position that would help too. Thanks!

Hang on, I have some that I can attach, I got a new camera for my birthday, and we went to the Broadmoor Audubon Sanctuary to test it out. I'll see if I have any pond's edge ones, I KNOW I have water lillies!

So here are two images, if there a particular part you'd like to see closer up, I can email you the full resolution file, let me know.

This cat photo looks perfect for what you want.

And one of the photos here could fit the bill for the pond

If there's nothing there you like, just type ponds in the 'search archive' box at the morguefile site and you will find hundreds to look through.

I'm sure they have lots of great pond photos!
Good luck, Amy!
