One morning I walked into our bedroom and the sun was shining so brightly and reflecting its light onto the opposite wall. It seemed magical to me! The curtain is an addition to a special corner! The quality of the image is not good but I thought I would post it anyway.
I am sorry that I have not been around much but I was having such trouble with Flickr that I decided to cool it for a couple of days!
Thanks so much for your visits!!!
I was taught to never just take a photo of someone else's art, but that is always OK to photograph art when presenting something other than just the art itself. It is always the point to see something with a fresh eye.
I just love a great reflection and doesn't matter from water or ice or mirror or windows... I always seek for these opportunities. So much so that I forgot to even capture ducks close by. So taken by the movements and colours. This was not achieved by intentional movement of my camera but by nature's water movement.

It tough work for a tree to grow in a swamp. The vast majority of trees simply can't do it; they'd drown! But bald cypress and tupelo gum trees have mastered the feat of surviving in sodden soils. This is in large part due to their "knees." While there are several theories as to the function of these knobby outgrowths, the prevailing thought is that they allow these water-logged trees to breathe!
Ever find yourself up to your thighs in water contemplating the choices you've made? Yeah, me neither. But this snowy egret seemed to be doing just that.
(Sorry for all the snowy egret photos lately. But ya shoots what ya sees)
This is my contribution to this weeks Macro Monday theme of Rock;
I collected these small rocks/ pebbles/stones from a beach on the Isle of Lewis and Harris and kept them for their colours and textures. I like them and I hope you do too! HMM
...waiting for the winter - nature has already prepaired... instead of water there will be ice - instead of leaves there will be snow... and may be then in time of frosty temperatures it could be - that you could see - more people here than now... because they will skate on the ice...

Sometimes it pays to bring your camera along. We were at one of our local parks walking our dog and we spotted this Coopers Hawk right in front of us and standing on a tree branch. As he moved from on tree to another we followed and captured this photo. We were pleased with how the late afternoon sun reflected on his face and body. The Cooper's hawk is a medium-sized hawk native to the North American continent and found from Southern Canada to Northern Mexico. This was a young one as his eyes are still light yellow.
When I took this shot, I just wanted to get a good shot of a buffalo’s eye. Little did I know that the reflection of the Great plains of South Dakota in it would provide so much deep, personal meaning to me. Herds that once numbered in the millions now number in the thousands’, so few that the Custer herd is utilized heavily to distribute healthy DNA to other herds around the world.
The buffalo hunt scene in the movie Dances with wolves was filmed in South Dakota not too far away on a private buffalo ranch. Knowing that historically that tradition occurred hundreds of times on where I and this fellow now stand both thrills and saddens.
