“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”

~ Thomas Merton

You can't have a light without a dark to stick it in.

Just playing around with the Glamour Glow filter from the Nik Color Efex Pro set. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

So, I thought of taking this car for a spin, but decided against it. Perhaps it was the pit bull that stood on the other end. ;) (And no, you cannot find me in the reflection... what fun would that be?) :o

Reflections of granite boulders in a rock pool near Mukinbudin WA

This is the reflections of a large neon sign in the puddle on a wet road. It was a shot I nearly missed as I dashed back to safety as the heavens opened on a street photo session.
