We've had sun for two days!! I'm ecstatic!  But I had already put my post together and besides, I didn't have a way to get to the harbor and that's where I wanted to be! Thank goodness for photo files!!!

    These are all beautiful reflections. My favorite quote is the last one. The second one is my second favorite--it's perfect for the duck tail sticking up from the water!

    This is a marvelous post, even if you didn't make it down to the harbor. I like your up-ended duck, and the sunset and its reflection is gorgeous. Have a great weekend.

    I hope that duck finds something interesting to eat down there. All beautiful images the sky in the last one is fabulous. Another new 'work of art' header I see Sylvia, your friend is very inventive, and funny!
