A windy day for sure, but still a beautiful one at that. I love Reflection photos because, well, I love symmetry; especially when it naturally occurs in the outdoors.
Today it was a sunny wonderful springday in Berlin. So I went out at my lunchbreak and took this "snapshot".
Heute war ein schöner Frühlingstag in Berlin. Daher ging ich in meiner Mittagspause raus und konnte diesen "Schnappschuss" aufnehmen.

This multi-generational trio of women were crossing Broadway--and it wasn't easy. People were out in force! Florists were competing for customers' business, creating a festive mood where usually there is none.
I was intrigued by the pregnant woman in the red sweater dress, walking with a teenage girl and an older woman. The dress enhanced all of her curves and she seems blissfully happy, not only about her curves, but the reason for them--the impending birth of her child. She's even baring her shoulders to complete the look. "If you got it, flaunt it," the expression goes. Well, she's got it and is not shy about flaunting it. She's clearly no Anglo-Saxon! :- >
From a feminist perspective, it's her body; she made the choice of motherhood. She is not only embracing that choice, but celebrating it--as well as the changes it has brought to her body. (In French, we would say, "Elle est épanouie.")
Ironically, the reflections of buildings on the car in front of the woman are like a visual echo of her curves. An amazing coincidence!

Made a trip down to Pheasant Branch at lunchtime yesterday to try to capture a yellow-rumped warbler. To say these little guys move fast may be an understatement. This is 1/1000s shutter speed and the wings still blurred this much!
A question did come up about the wing blur versus the shadow created, and I was curious about that as well. After reviewing the image a bit more, I think the vertical trajectory of the wings, relative to the location of the sun, kept the wings in roughly the same position when viewed horizontally. So the shadow looks "fixed" in the horizontal mode while the wings are blurred when viewed vertically. (It's the engineer in me coming out... lol)
