| 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 web address under the blog title and sign up to play with us! Please, everyone, offer prayers for the families and victims of the horrific earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Warnings are being issued as far away as California and Washington. I think we all have friends in these areas that are in need of our prayers and good thoughts. |

Looks like Shilshole in the first photo -- don't we just have the most beautiful marina reflections when the sun shines?
I absolutely LOVE the Edith Wharton quote! And the Keyes quote scares me because that means a lot of Canadian politicians must think the world is hostile. That is sooo SAD!
Beautiful pictures and words! Thank you.
I love the colors in that second shot. Just gorgeous!
Dear Sylvia, you always have something special to show us, thanks so much!
It's difficult to choose, but I think the first one is my favorite, the picture brings me THAT feeling of a lovely day - weekend - Spring - SUN - ROMANCE! :)
MErci beaucoup!

Truly beautiful photos Sylvia and great quotes too. So much truth there.
Nice set of reflection, my dear Sylvia... I especially enjoythe blue quiet in that first one...
Sylvia,
Your wonderful images, let us accompany our prayers for our Japanese friends.
Thanks
Many greetings
I so enjoy your beautiful reflection images, and thoughtful quotes. My heart goes out the people of Japan and everyone affected by the quake and tsunami.
I love the calm waters of the harbor reflections and immediately thought about the difficult time our friends in the Pacific are having with the Tsunami. I just wrote down the Wharton quote... how marvelous!
Bises,

My heart aches about this catastrophe :(
Seeing your photos though I am calmed...beautiful postcard perfect shots!

Your reflections are always a joy to see. Edith Wharton's quote is great words to live by.
Hope your weekend is lovely.

Beautiful three-and very different, the first very fine blue pictorial, romantic second and third warm tones of nature with beautiful shades of green. Happy weekend.
Water is so peaceful and serene on your pictures!always a breath of peace before to begin the week-end! thank you!
I really love the greens in the last shot
spring is coming soon :)
Beautiful photos Sylvia!
My wife is Japanese and we have been able to contact her family there. All are safe. What an amazingly huge and tragic thing...
Japan is in my mind all the time Sylvia! I'm horrified and shocked!
Your photos are so beautiful, I love especially the first one.
Have a nice lovely weekend:)

Thinking too of Japan....with heavy heart, but hope. Lovely images this week Sylvia. I especially like the first one, but both are amazing.
Sylvia--I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that I love your photos! You have a very good eye for composition!
(and, of course, I LOVE your name...LOL)
I found out about the natural disasters in Japan through an email from a friend asking whether I was safe. It is close to home, even when I am far. Another profound set of quotes and lovely reflections, Sylvia.
Hi Sylvia, some Japanese friends sent news clips of the tsunamis coming inland--awesomely terrible. Makes me appreciate the fragile nature of our world. That and living 6,000 feet above sea level...
Dear Sylvia! I am over the hill as well, but heaven sake: where are you located? If you see my profile You could just walk to my house.
Only the Skandinavien like to tell exactly their location.

All of these photos are absolutely wonderful, but I'm going to join those that say the first is their favorite. There is something about the compositon and color that is just marvelous.
Gorgeous Sylvia!

Outstanding pics Sylvia. I loved the Toomer quote, how true. Take care.
Hi Sylvia,
mi piace molto la foto con le barche !
sarebbe molto bello poterci fare un vaggio, no ?
Buona giornata :)
Myriam
I always look for turtles in your water shots and you didn't disappoint...I SEE turtles, Sylvia...Yay! Wonderfully beautiful scenes!
Sylvia,
So gorgeous !!
I especially love the first photo! The deepest color of the sea is indigo, Japan blue, which is my favorite color. Always I'm studying from your words, the first one is similar to "Cause and Effect" in Buddhism.
Deeply impressed.
Thank you for your concern.
Have a nice weekend.
Dear Sylvia,
Namaste!
Good Afternoon from India!
Amazing photos!Wonderful quotes!
Joining your prayers for the victims of Tsunami!
I loved your blog,Sylvia!
Wishing you a beautiful day ahead,

I am still in love with your little turtles !!

The first shot is so calm and tranquil, a welcome diversion from the unbelievable tragedy in Japan.
The first picture is stunning: I love it!
Stunning photography! I look forward to following you for more!
Your photos are each of them lovely treasures together with beautiful words. Thank you for sharing! I wish you a very happy Sunday!
