The title says it all...plus there are 4-6 actual reflections in the water droplets. Taken in my yard while trying to familiarize myself with my new camera a Canon 50D. After 3 1/2 years of hard use my 20D had its first serious problem a shutter issue and is being repaired the problem is....i am leaving on a trip next week and had to have something to take. I had hoped to hold out until i could afford a 5D mk II.....but the 50D is a nice camera and hopefully my 20D will be able to be used as a secondary camera.

"There is an art of reading, as well as an art of thinking, and an art of writing."
Isaac D'Israeli
"There is no royal road to geometry."
(μή εἶναι βασιλικήν ἀτραπόν ἐπί γεωμετρίαν)
[Non est regia [inquit Euclides] ad Geometriam via]
– Reply given when the ruler Ptolemy I Soter asked Euclid if there was a shorter road to learning geometry than through Euclid's Elements.
"It seems that the ancient philosophers made the first attempts at this sort of science, in looking for metaphysical relationships between numbers and material bodies. When they said that God occupies himself with geometry, they surely meant that He unites in that science the works of His power with the perspectives of His wisdom."
– Pierre Louis Maupertuis, "Accord de différentes loix de la nature qui avoient jusqu’ici paru incompatibles" (1744).

... beim Start in einen neuen Tag
... during my daily morning routine
alles aus dieser Zeit / all from this period : hier/here
A Starling admires his reflection in the Lake waters on a beautiful morning.
We broke a record high yesterday!! 87 degrees!! An early taste of summer!
Every Grain of Sand
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer.
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.

From Wikipedia:
Balboa Park is a 1,200 acre (4.9 km²) urban cultural park in San Diego, California. The Park is named after the Spanish maritime explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa. It was the location of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition and 1935 California Pacific International Exposition which each created architectural landmarks for the Park. More.

I've been trying to figure out a process for creating gritty, dark portraits for quite a while. More creative, intriguing portraits are something I'd like to work on in 2014 (not exactly a resolution, more of a goal). Never got it quite the way I wanted it until today, and I have a fellow Flickrite to thank for the tip that helped me get the results I wanted.
Check my blog post to see step by step exactly how I created this shot.
