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!

Hope you've all had a great week. Our weather is warm, but still gray and grumpy. The one day we had some sun I wasn't able to get out and had to grab a shot from my desk, not very inspiring, but, hey, we get what we can with what we have! Right? 


Enjoy your weekend!

    Like that afternoon sun in the window. Or maybe it's morning. It is raining so much now and the ground is so saturated. Really? Couldn't it just move south to Texas!

    Hi Sylvia! All your pictures for Reflections and SkyWatch are beautiful as always, but I really love the one with the ducks.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    All three are charming and very different, but the last with that beautiful light and taken from the inside I feel more intimate.

    Oh! I though I was having a nightmare when I saw our dwarf and his wife on your header! He he he! Sorry Sylvia!
    Happily your shots made me think I was beautifully dreaming with the lovely duck and turtle underneath the wonderful sunset longing for a beautiful moment at home in good company;o)

    Hugs and wishing you a wonderful week, ma belle****

    The John Muir quote is for me timely, having just returned from his beloved Yosemite.

    Queen Sylvia... yes, sounds right! And you're showing us beautiful skies (including yesterday's) and reflections. The first one, the sunset, is a huge WoW! Don't let the grumpy weather get you grumpy!
