| 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 post title and sign up to play with us! And the new year is underway! And our weather is back to gray and grumpy, but I dug up a few from the mundane to the breathtaking! Hope you all have a lovely weekend with lots of love and laughter |

There are two kinds of light - the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures. ~James Thurber |

There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. ~Edith Wharton |

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. ~Maori Proverb |
Sylvia, you always blend your wonderful photos with passages that complete the "big picture." You have a creative knack for this.
ReplyDeleteBon weekend,
Genie
These are beautiful shots. I love the lighting and shadows in the top photo.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the Linky. I'm just glad that I was home beause sometimes I'm away when W.R.'s posts.
That first one really glows!
ReplyDeleteI love the golden reflection of the glass against the wall in the first one. & your water shot on the bottom with the sunlight reflecting is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the uplifting quotes Sylvia.
: )
All very nice, but I love the big sky over the water!
ReplyDeleteOh, all beautiful, but the first one is so homey. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful golden glow reflected on the water.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the sunset and this wonderful maori quote! Have a nice week-end!
ReplyDelete«Louis» is particularly fond of the first and last images in this post, Sylvia.
ReplyDelete;-D
Nice collection of quotes and photo illustrations. Let your light shine!
ReplyDeleteA super array of reflections, Sylvie... and it's the Maori quote that wins for me today: Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. So simple, so true.
ReplyDeleteI like that big window reflection!
ReplyDeleteLooks like water splashing out from the tall orange glass. I like it. Happy Weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love how the reflection of the yellow vase is in color rather than as a plain old gray shadow.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!!
Wonderful glows of warm gold light in the first and last photo! A gorgeous collection!
ReplyDeleteAhh Sylvia, I like so much this proverb that you wrote today. :)
ReplyDeleteYour reflections are beautiful, I also love the shadows in your first shot.
Have a nice weekend,
hugs

That sunset is beautiful, so calming! (And I like the 2011 header!)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are never mundane Sylvia! And I remain in awe of your ability to find just the right quotes. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend. Hope you get a ray or two of sunshine.
you have an unusual piece in your window. A vase perhaps. Very appealing to me. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd....I am so pleased that you like my work. Thank you. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful as always, Sylvia. I especially enjoy your photos of coloured glass in the sun.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breath-taking photos, Sylvia! Have a terrific weekend. We're off to the Farmers Market. Would you believe it's cold over here? About 65 degrees. Brrrr. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a good friend who show cases her talent thru your blog, beautiful and artistic header.
ReplyDeleteThose colored vases are gorgeous. Beautiful lighting too.
Thanks for the holiday wishes, I was sick the whole month of December, and I still have the cough remnants until now.
Such beautiful reflections! You've chosen great quotes to go with them!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend Sylvia!
Great photos of course. I really like the Thurber comment about the glow within. I think that he was talking about you.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Sylvia. You make my day so many days with your gracious comments.
Love that intimate corner of your first pic!
ReplyDeleteGood as always. Every now and then you still surprise me. The reflection - did it.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
All the shots are lovely but the golden vase really caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteNice variety of reflections !
ReplyDeleteThe two first are wonderful compositions and the third one is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLoved the quotation too;o)

Have a marvellous weekend, Sylvia****
The last photo shows a sea of Gold. Imagine it is real gold liquid and you can dip in anything you like to coat it with gold.
ReplyDeleteHappy New year Sylvia!
ReplyDeleteI love the snow effect on your page. So pretty. I like the first photo, too. I love the way you photograph your vases and the way you create a visual treat out of it.
You have captured an illuminating glow in all of these. Lovely photos for a cold winter day.
ReplyDeleteAll great shots, especially the second one. I like the second quote, as well, which reminds me of the relationship between the sun and the moon!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday.
