    You have three fine photographs with reflections. Love the sunset. But there is something distinctly odd about the sailboat photo. The boat is clearly underway, but there is no one at the tiller, the sails are not properly set, and the motor is likely running. That's hazardous sailing close to shore. Your picture raises many questions.

    That first shot is truly spectacular! And I'd have to say that today I'm about as happy as a duck in water or a turtle on a log!

    Your first image brings me peace just looking at it, and Hanh must be or was one smart dude! I just googled him; he's 86 and is a monk.
    Now I'm worried about the sailboat because of Taken for Granted's comment. Knowing nothing about sailing, I saw only a serene spot to sail.
    I'd like to be enjoying in person the ducks and turtles' ride on the log.
    have a wonderful weekend!

    I love these photos - the colors in that first one are stunning. Have a great weekend, and I'm sure Sam would love a treat. Socks will be bored as it's going to be cold and snowy here...

    Beauty shot of the month, that first one! That's the stuff of paintings and poetry.

    As a sailor, I'm with TFG re that last one. Oh I can feel a mystery muse a-stirring...
