Down at the Golden Gate Park at the Harbor there is a bird/duck sanctuary that I always enjoy visiting and I've been there a lot during the lovely weather we have had lately. One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is the watery reflections that make each photo look like an Impressionist painting. I've posted a few of these on Shadow Shot and Weekend Reflections, but I thought I would share some more of them here today. I hope you enjoy them!



Love my upside down friend!



Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath. Michael Caine



If you keep your feathers well oiled the water of criticism will run off as from a duck's back.
Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards



And I heard one duck say to the other, "Do you think my butt looks too big?"



In a world,
shaky
with
flowing shadows
of terror,
floats
a bulwark
of democracy,
human values,
and freedom.

They sit,
on it,
B. Obama(USA)
and M. Singh(India),
as they
discuss,
at the Security Summit,
ways to help
those
who endeavour to
democratically
stay afloat.

Their backs
to those
that threaten,
intimidate,
and destroy,
yet
balancing exquisitely,
on those logs
powered
by
their
respective
Constitutions...

Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come.
- Chinese proverb



The tulip's petals shine in dew,
All beautiful, but none alike.
