Sometimes we are in the right place at the right time. Often it is the opposite, but for this instance, the moment was about to deliver. When turning to my left after an initial shot, I noticed the reflections of the tree tops in a left over puddle.
I repositioned my tripod and a marvellous reflection took shape. After also elevating my tripod, the reflection were just right and another colourful sunset image took a vert different and artful form.

You may have noticed I quite like a reflection shot and I certainly couldn't pass up the chance of this shot at Zaandam station utilising the handy, and very shiny, ledge in the waiting room as a VIRM double deck unit 8681 rolls in with our connection to Sloterdijk. Jamie looks like he's in some kind of faceoff with himself...
I know, I know, a bit odd looking. Actually, what it comprises are reflected flowers from above a chrome pot stand (in the old sense of pot).. Sitting on my balcony, coffee in hand, camera in the other, I decided to be somewhat creative without having to try.
A flight of Canada Geese landing on water covered ice at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, Dec 14, 2018.
The bay froze over the past few days then the temperatures went above freezing.
A lack of wind made for a mirror like surface.
Branta canadensis
Some migratory populations of the Canada Goose are not going as far south in the winter as they used to. This northward range shift has been attributed to changes in farm practices that makes waste grain more available in fall and winter, as well as changes in hunting pressure and changes in weather.
A female stands in water grooming in the middle of a small flock. While the males get a lot more attention, I find the females have a lovely subtle plumage, and the fall reflections on the water framed the scene well.
A larger group spent several weeks on the Lake in the fall, spooked and flushed periodically by Hawks and the occasional Bald Eagle. The species is a frequent fall visitor, and there are occasional northbound migrants in the spring.
A feature of the species that always seems striking to my eye is the short, beautifully coloured bill. It is often described as ‘goose-like’ and it helps them have greater pulling force on the underwater greens that form the core of their diet.
I made this picture a few years ago. Reposting to mention that pictures I have made will be appearing at a show at 356 Holloway Road London N7 in October 2017 and will run for 3 Months so European and World contacts can build a visit to it into their trips to London!
