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!

Still having to rely on my photo files, not much sun! Guess I can't really complain though -- it may be rainy and dark, but it's not that cold!  Patience, that's what I need and have very little of!!

    Beautiful shots! I especially like the bottom one and the top one reminds me of an eye that's about to close. Great stuff!

    I could patiently wait for the sun to reappear if I had file photos like these. The sun in all its golden glory is fabulous!

    These are all beautiful, Sylvia. If I had to choose my favorite, I'd choose the last one--so sweet.

    Those flamingoes are pretty cool. Not something you see in Maine, that's for sure.
    My fave is the swimming dog. My Tula isn't a swimmer, but my past two dogs loved the water. I miss throwing sticks and having a "retriever".

    Lovely photos as usual - there's a serenity in your blog that is so attractive. It must be how you are yourself and it shines through. I never tire of sunsets - but right now I wouldn't mind being on a lake shore watching that dog frolic.

    Thanks as always for stopping by, Pam! Yes, that is my youngest son and his dog, Mojo. She does love to swim and this shot was taken on my birthday last August. Adam and our dogs and me spent the whole day together and it was such fun!!
