The Great Blue Heron holds special meaning in Native medicine, where it represents self-reflection:
As it stands very still in the water, it sends reflections of itself to itself, providing insight into one’s unique purpose in life, mirroring ‘what is’, and inviting quests for understanding how its own path fits within the whole.
The heron symbolizes the journey of self-realization, beginning with the development of the skills to build inner strength and achieve certainty of purpose, the courage to delve deep, and the resulting joy of discovery - of awakening.
Sought to sneak up on some more rare birds, but these two like a lot of these geese were wary but self confident.
The water has some rippling, but seemed to hold their reflections well. Almost seems like the focus on the reflection is better than on the birds themselves.
Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.
"We look into mirrors but we only see the effects of our times on us - not our effects on others." ~Pearl Bailey

Hey there Flickr friends!
I m back and I missed you all.
I had a project that was coming to a close at office which kept me busy day time. All the nightly hours, earlier reserved for Flickr, were spent designing furniture on Google Sketch-Up. I am doing interiors for my apartment and furniture/interior design is a newly acquired passion. I enjoy it as much as photography, but I miss the friendliness of Flickr.
I am back and need a big shot of Flickr to get back from cold-turkeying.
This self-portrait was shot when I was taking macro shots of marbles and saw my reflection in a mirror.

Only a fraction of this photograph portrays the real woman as most of it is her reflection. All sides of her are present yet a complete image of her is absent. She is submerged so deep within her own reality it is impossible for her to see outside of it. Sometimes we look too deeply within ourselves as we block out the big picture because excessive introspection prohibits us from looking at the situation as a whole and, it turn, worsens it. The image melts reality and fiction together, preventing one from distinguishing the real imagery from the reflection.
A rarely seen Pied-billed Grebe, spotted a Quidi Vidi Lake in St. John's, Newfoundland. Reflection off calm water in the early morning light.
Self Reflection - who do you see when you look in the mirror? Who are you looking at? Who is looking back at you? Who are you looking for?
Here's a selfie from earlier this year in a hotel room in Sydney.
Camera news - after a bit of a mix up on their end, the restaurant posted the camera two days ago, so hopefully it will arrive today! Fingers crossed :-)
I've not posted anything for a long time, there's been too much going on!
Here's a suitably contemplative shot from a trip to Portugal last month.
Just experimenting with the instagram app on my iPhone. If anyone wants to search for me on Instagram, I'm jcowboyjp there.
Stylin in Anne Fontaine jacket, we headed out for our Photo Friday walk. It was cold during our photo walk. It was sunny too. So I wore gloves and shades. Little difficult to handle camera in gloves, but I managed. I took this shot against a window of a building.
