Weekend Reflections

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 web address under the blog title and sign up to play with us! I move into my new place tomorrow, so you may not see me around a lot over the weekend, but I send you wishes for beautiful reflections!
Enjoy your weekend!

    A scene like this makes me feel at home because boats are a daily view for me.

    Congratulations on your move, dear friend! I am sending you best wishes and would love to be there and help you unpack!

    I think that second quote works very well for your move, n'est-ce pas?

    Bises,

    Starburst seems to be a sign given to us. I do love the dynamic clouds too. I agree with Dorian, the 2nd quote is the most implicative. Sylvia, have a nice weekend!

    Oh, the ducks, I love the ducks. And the ocean, and the boats, but especially the ducks. Only thing better than ducks on a log is ducks and turtles on the same log. LOL
    The quotations are perfect, particularly the second one.

    That first photo is spectacular with the four rays shooting out from the sun. And I LOVE the four ducks standing on the piece of wood, two cleaning their feathers and two looking for fish. The sailboats all lined up with the watery road between them is cool, too. Have a great weekend settling in to your new place, Sylvia.

    I was also wondering if you might still have these shoreline views in your new place.

    I love the first shot! Just like a twinkling little bright star!
