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!





When walking through the "valley of shadows," remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.

    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!

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

    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.

    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!

    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!
