| Weekend Reflections is hosted by James each week beginning Friday at 11 AM Eastern Standard Time. It's another wonderful way of opening your eyes to new and different kinds of beauty. Click on the post title and sign up to play with us! And the new year is underway! And our weather is back to gray and grumpy, but I dug up a few from the mundane to the breathtaking! Hope you all have a lovely weekend with lots of love and laughter |

There are two kinds of light - the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures. ~James Thurber |

There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. ~Edith Wharton |

Sylvia, you always blend your wonderful photos with passages that complete the "big picture." You have a creative knack for this.
Bon weekend,

These are beautiful shots. I love the lighting and shadows in the top photo.
Sorry about the Linky. I'm just glad that I was home beause sometimes I'm away when W.R.'s posts.
That first one really glows!
I love the golden reflection of the glass against the wall in the first one. & your water shot on the bottom with the sunlight reflecting is beautiful!
Thanks for the uplifting quotes Sylvia.
: )
All very nice, but I love the big sky over the water!
Oh, all beautiful, but the first one is so homey. I love it.
That is a beautiful golden glow reflected on the water.
My favorite is the sunset and this wonderful maori quote! Have a nice week-end!
«Louis» is particularly fond of the first and last images in this post, Sylvia.
;-D
Nice collection of quotes and photo illustrations. Let your light shine!
A super array of reflections, Sylvie... and it's the Maori quote that wins for me today: Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. So simple, so true.
I like that big window reflection!
Looks like water splashing out from the tall orange glass. I like it. Happy Weekend.
I love how the reflection of the yellow vase is in color rather than as a plain old gray shadow.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Wonderful glows of warm gold light in the first and last photo! A gorgeous collection!
Ahh Sylvia, I like so much this proverb that you wrote today. :)
Your reflections are beautiful, I also love the shadows in your first shot.
Have a nice weekend,
hugs

J'aime beaucoup la première, pleine de simplicité et du quotidien de nos vies
Your colored glass makes the most beautiful reflections. Lovely pictures :)
Happy Weekend.

The second photo is so bright, with a summery world reflected in the window. Delightful!

That sunset is beautiful, so calming! (And I like the 2011 header!)
Your pictures are never mundane Sylvia! And I remain in awe of your ability to find just the right quotes. Amazing.
Happy weekend. Hope you get a ray or two of sunshine.
you have an unusual piece in your window. A vase perhaps. Very appealing to me. :)
And....I am so pleased that you like my work. Thank you. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful as always, Sylvia. I especially enjoy your photos of coloured glass in the sun.
Absolutely breath-taking photos, Sylvia! Have a terrific weekend. We're off to the Farmers Market. Would you believe it's cold over here? About 65 degrees. Brrrr. :-)
How wonderful to have a good friend who show cases her talent thru your blog, beautiful and artistic header.
Those colored vases are gorgeous. Beautiful lighting too.
Thanks for the holiday wishes, I was sick the whole month of December, and I still have the cough remnants until now.
Such beautiful reflections! You've chosen great quotes to go with them!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend Sylvia!
Great photos of course. I really like the Thurber comment about the glow within. I think that he was talking about you.
Have a great weekend Sylvia. You make my day so many days with your gracious comments.
Love that intimate corner of your first pic!
Good as always. Every now and then you still surprise me. The reflection - did it.
Good job!
All the shots are lovely but the golden vase really caught my eye.
Nice variety of reflections !
The two first are wonderful compositions and the third one is fabulous!
Loved the quotation too;o)

Have a marvellous weekend, Sylvia****
The last photo shows a sea of Gold. Imagine it is real gold liquid and you can dip in anything you like to coat it with gold.
Happy New year Sylvia!
I love the snow effect on your page. So pretty. I like the first photo, too. I love the way you photograph your vases and the way you create a visual treat out of it.
You have captured an illuminating glow in all of these. Lovely photos for a cold winter day.
All great shots, especially the second one. I like the second quote, as well, which reminds me of the relationship between the sun and the moon!
Have a wonderful Sunday.
