Nothing like a shiny red convertible to catch reflections!!

This is one of those shots that works without editing. I didn't even crop it.

I'm a Copy-Cat!

OK, I'm a copy-cat!

Two weeks ago James published a very cool upside-down reflection.

I was impressed!

A week later, I took this picture, and I think it also looks cool upside-down!

An Evening Paddle

Driving home last week

I impulsively turned down the road which goes by this place.

This kayaker,

Enjoying an evening paddle,

Caught my eye.

I had to hurry, 

Opportunities like this don't last long!

Sky in a Mirror

Almost everything in this shot is a reflection.

Weedy Reflections

The yellow flowers are tansy.
It is an invasive weed,
but pretty!

Wet Bench, Dry Bench

We traveled  over four thousand miles in the first two weeks of this month so we could visit with our son, daughter, and son-in-law. It had to be a pretty fast trip, so we mostly used interstate highways. These two shots were made at rest stops along these roads; the first in Wyoming and the second in Montana. We saw a lot of rain in Wyoming, so that bench is dripping and partly reflected in the wet cement. If you click on the picture, you can see the drops better. The second bench isn't actually wet, but the sky was threatening to change that! 

Rest stops are state maintained, and vary considerably in appearance from one state to another, but all have restrooms and most have drinking water. They are sometimes the only places for taking care of business for many miles and are a welcome break when your life is confined to a compact car!

One Pic, Many Reflections

This was taken in Scottsbluff, Nebraska where we were visiting. I like its complexity!

Red Bricks & Window Reflection

This was taken at my daughter's university in 2005, a couple of months before she graduated. We were waiting for her to come out of this building, and I was taking pictures to pass the time. I was glad I looked up, because this caught my eye!

Strange Reflection Revealed

I went for a walk one day last August, following tracks of various farm vehicles that criss-cross  the property. I trekked behind my brother-in-law's place, and this eerie sight met my eyes. I was startled, and even slightly fearful-what was that odd looking thing, anyway??? An extra-terrestrial??

I'm not one for running from stuff that is odd, at least not in broad daylight, so I took a breath and stepped closer.

I recognized that it was light on the wall of a shed, not an alien. Phew! But why is it so weird?

This is the shot I cropped for last week's post:

No one guessed that the light was reflected from the side of a junked gasoline pump, which didn't surprise me: it's not a commonly found item! However, I enjoyed everyone's comments and imaginative ways of looking at this reflection. It was rather like seeing shapes in clouds: everyone sees something different. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Reflections Can Be Strange!

This was taken last August a short way from home. When I first saw it, I wondered what it was. I have cropped out as much of the context as possible....What do you see?
