Well, surprise, surprise, it was back to gray and gloomy this week! But it's July and USUALLY that's when the sun comes and hangs out for a while. So far no one seems to have informed the sun that it's July! But I did what I could with the few hours of sun that we had.

I caught this reflection of our deck and the trees across the alley, in the window over the stairway that leads to the basement.



And this is a reflection on the glass top table of some clouds and the folded umbrella -- obviously that wasn't needed!



And the colored reflection of a new vase -- empty of flowers for now, but not for long!



And last but not least, a glimpse of my favorite place at the park.

  5. I've only starting taking reflection photos - such ordinary everday objects really do make great reflection photos. My favourite is the vase as in the reflection it seems to have gained quite a patina from the table top.


    My submission is on my Centre of Interest photoblog

  14. Hi Sylvia..
    questa è stata una settimana molto stressante per me a causa del lavoro.
    Il caldo è stato insopportabile...
    Belle queste foto di riflessi...

  22. You've got yourself a pretty area! We're wishing for the opposite - we want the gray clouds and wish the sun would hide behind them for a while.

  34. You are one busy and prolific blogger!
    I was busy photographing parades and my husband and I have been editing into a movie. I'll let you know when it's up on You Tube-it's our local July 4th parade (so exciting).
    But, I love the red, white and blue glass! Nice touch for SSS!
