    I always love your reflection photos, great quotes. I learned the value a long time ago of just admitting fault even when it isn't so I could just move on.

    Beautiful shadow shots Sylvia, love the reading glasses and book, now that's a sight I'm very familiar with. I hope you and your family have a lovely weekend.

    A good book, a glass and a sunset (preferably in combination ...) - what good be better?

    You find the best quotes. Wisdom in little bunches. Love that eyeglasses shot-and the circular pattern from the goblet-great noticing. Have a happy weekend.

    So gorgeous! Let's pick up that glass and I'll bring mine and we'll share a glass of wine amidst the reflections.

    Looks like you will be having a nice weekend: a beautiful sunny sky, a good book and a glass of wine. Those seem like the perfect ingredients for a relaxing weekend!

    That first shot is absolutely incredible, Sylvia - but you already knew I'd say that since I love the water so much! I hope you and Sam have a fantastic weekend. I'm keeping your daughter in my thoughts and prayers.

    I'm always surprised when folks refer to Clemens (Mark Twain) as a humorist. I always took him to be a philosopher of pragmatism.

    Hi Sylvia! I like the reflection in the wine glass, but it's empty!

    All three are good, Sylvia, but your sunset shot really captures my attention. Have a grand weekend, and hoist a pitcher to Saint Patrick.
