Lovely sunny skies the past couple of days so I headed for my favorite place! Forgive me if I seem repetitive, I just love watching these little guys and the pictures in the water always amaze me. Do click on the photos for a better look.

The water you see beyond the pond is Puget Sound.



One of my favorite little guys!

Lovely photos. That's a lot of water, there's nothing like that around my city.

James said...

These are beautiful reflections of nature! They make me want to get out of the house and go for a long walk.

I hope you have a great weekend Sylvia!

How could anyone tire of seeing this wonderful spot. I would love to see the Sound one of these days.
Have a great weekend, Sylvia.

The last photo looks like a painting by Monet! Just beautiful!

I can see why that's a favorite place. And the weather around the Sound has been lovely lately. A hi from Port Townsend.

Oh, I do like these, Sylvia. I can see why you love this place and the reflections are picture perfect :-)

Owlfarmer said...

Your Skywatch stuff was terrific as usual, Sylvia, but I like these even better. I'm a sucker for a good reflection, and (until this morning, at least, when we've gotten a nice rain) starved for water--so this filled the bill in several ways. Hope your weekend is lovely and peaceful.

Very calm and serene. Wonderful pictures.
By the way what I see right on top of your blog site is something similar to warli art.

George said...

You've given us some beautiful reflections to enjoy. I like your little guy as well. Have a great weekend.

Beautiful pond, with great reflections on it.

Suzanne said...

Sylvia,
Nice reflections and I especially like your final reflection that 'shadows are cast by light'.

T. Becque said...

Love the O'Malley quote. Your photos are always so tranquil.

Perry said...

I was hoping for a shot of the sound. :-) I need to try to convince my wife that we need to go up there for camping this summer....

Dianne said...

I really love the last shot!!
trees create so much beauty

Louis la Vache said...

hee hee...
Things are just ducky, here, too!

Carletta said...

There's nothing wrong with visiting a favorite spot. I know I see something different each time I'm somewhere I like. :)
Love the Monet look of that last shot and the quote fits gloriously!
Have a wonderful weekend Sylvia.

Lindy said...

These are beautiful views, and ducks are one of my favorites, too. You've shared with us more than visual reflections - the quote by Austin O'Malley is also a beautiful reflection.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Eden said...

This is a beautiful place and never get tired of your beautiful photos. We love ducks too and the reflections are fantastic.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Charlene Amsden said...

That last photo of the trees dancing in the water is gorgeous.

The last, squiggly one, is wonderful!

I can see why you can't help but come back to this little bit of heaven! I especially love the second shot, with the splatters in the water.

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
