    What a gorgeous capture of color and light in the sky.

    I like the glass shadow and the tones on the tablecloth.

    I love the George Bernard Shaw quotes. I am a little bit confused with the first one though. I will Google it later. LOL

    Bonjour Sylvia,
    Great images for the theme, I like a lot the game with shadows and color reflections in your first shot, and the other picture is also magnificent!
    Have a great weekend,

    Hello, Sylvia! Thanks for the warm welcome... although I'm not so sure I am back (I've missed blogging)! I had a short break home in Manila, so I was able to post a few times, but now I am back in China and that makes blogging difficult. Less time (more work) and slow connections to social media (through an anonymous proxy). Anyway, we'll see.

    Your reflections are soothing for my eyes. So colorful. I won't be seeing a sunset here until I get back home again. I may be making a mistake coming to work here in China, but at least now I know it's honorable. LOL!

    I love the the glass refection and the way the rim makes a circle that holds the colored pattern.

    The colorful reflection reminds me of a stained glass window... lovely.

    The water reflection is just inspiring and uplifting. Love the quote, mon amie. Enjoy your weekend, and I will try to get a water reflection on the Seine for you.

    Bises,
    Genie
