I took this in beautiful Limburg in Germany last year - love the reflections. I've been reflecting on lots of things lately. Too many things probably....
The joy of dressing and being a woman is wonderful and none more so when able to go out as the woman you want to be.
My initial outing was at a TV weekend, but that first occasion only left me with a desire to do it again. The next occasion only increased that desire and now it is a driving force. Almost like an addiction. This addiction however does no one any harm and only gives pleasure and such an adrenaline buzz to me. So so wonderful living in Amanda's world.

Lame title I know but...
I live on the other side of the city, and don't often see this view, With the sky and reflection I could not resist a shot. So in a way the title is appropriate in more than the obvious way. I was intrigued by the different point of view, and also how small the skyline looks from this angle. Philadelphia is one of the larger cites in the country, but center city is not all that big. It is manageable. I like that.
...at the Saatchi Gallery, London, with the Georg Herold sculptures in the background reflected in a vibrating mirror that reacted to passing movement to blur the reflections. I just like the space and figures in this room. Oh, and taken with a small Pentax P&S that was to hand.
Super gallery space and an inspiring place to 'people watch'

This shot is very thought provoking for me.
Not only am I reflecting on my training & life events, but am literally reflecting in the water.
I've always loved the water. Being in it, & on it. Water is so soft, yet it can break down the hardest of materials.
My thoughts can't help but drift to the poor people of Japan. The devastation, & suffering, brought on by water.
The images on TV & on-line are just heart wrenching.
My thoughts & prayers are with them.
Sorry for my absence from flickr for a few days. I'll try to get caught up on all my contacts recent posts. Still really busy do bare with me.
Only 5 weeks from the Boston Marathon!
Ran a half marathon yesterday in 1:43:18 That was 1/2 number 3 in the past 10 weeks.
A welcome bit of winter sunshine highlights Class 86s Nos. 86639 & 86627 as they cross the Coventry Canal at Huddlesford, near Lichfield whilst hauling 4M54 1010 Tilbury-Crewe Basford Hall on 13th January 2015. Copyright John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
My sole perfectly mirrored in a small moorland pool. Captured on a very rare occasion when the air was still and the sun in exactly the right position to turn a small puddle into a perfect reflecting pool. The ground was very wet and soggy making it very challenging to balance for long enough to capture these images. I'm really pleased with how they have turned out. Your thoughts are welcome as always!
Hanging over one of the bridges crossing Taylor Creek to photograph this reflection of riverside trees reflecting in the barely moving water.
If you check the EXIF info for this shot you'll see no lens info. I shot this using a vintage Canon 135 mm f/3.5 lens which used to be my father's, one he used on his Leica M3. I bought an adapter for it so I could use it on my MFT camera. Aperture is manually set (f/5.6 in this case), and focusing is manual, too. Takes me back.
A Common Merganser and her brood out for an evening swim. Taken with a Canon 55-250mm IS lens. Type L for a better view.
...this old man stood still at this spot for a long time, he did not move. Not once. His head slightly bowed, and hands together.....behind him the hustle and bustle of the city continued uninterrupted...
"Happy. Just in my swim shorts, barefooted, wild-haired, in the red fire dark, singing, swigging wine, spitting, jumping, running—that's the way to live. All alone and free in the soft sands of the beach by the sigh of the sea out there..."
— Jack Kerouac
