A Forrest on the Water (Weekend Reflections # 6)

I was happy last week when I looked into this stream and saw all of the colorful trees reflected. Since I haven't touched up these photos I will submit them to Jan's meme Straight Out Of The Camera Sunday aka SOOC Sunday. It's hosted at Murrietta 365.

"Weekend Reflections" rules are simple:

1)Post a reflection photograph

2)After I post my Weekend Reflections photo, add your name, country and link to MckLinky

3)Be sure that your link goes directly to your Weekend Reflections post.

4)Comment on other Weekend Reflections participant’s blogs.

Feel free to be creative. Remember this meme is for any type of reflection.
This meme runs Friday 11ish am EST through Sunday, so feel free to link your post anytime within that time frame. Join the fun!

  1. You have caught the autumn very well, colours, peace, river, reflections.

    I will have some reflection up in about eight and a half hours :-), but will nor be able to log before morning.

  4. Beautiful photos again, James. I'd like to be in that countryside! Mcklingy is closed, may be you need to adjust the date?

    Mine is already posted.

  5. Beautiful!
    I went to the forest too.
    This is so clear - I need some practice. :)

    Mine's up - I'll come back by to check on Mr. Linky.
    Carletta’s Captures.

  9. Ah, the only thing better than fall colors is a reflection of fall colors! Well done.

  10. Such a peaceful Autumn scene, very lovely.
    Thank you for your kind comments. I really don't travel far for my pictures, a lot are within a 10 to 20 mile radius of my home and we are almost on the Vermont border, which makes for a nice Sunday ride. A lot of my older posts are from my travels across the country to the west coast.
    Sunny :)

  14. HI James.I made a mistake. I entered mr linky and I am nr 11 but I put on reflection in stead of Riet, Holland. I can't change it from my side. Maybe you can?
    Sorry about that.

  15. Wonderful mood in your pictures.
    And I love seeing the veins in the leaves. :)
    Having been outside of my Jerusalem for two weeks, I finally have some water reflection photos--on the Sea of Galilee.

  16. Beautiful, wonderful photo's. There is even colour in the reflections. So special.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Each of your picture is like a XIXth century painting, full of colors , with such a wonderful light..I'd like to get lost there!
    My own picture today is the perfect contrary! Ü
    Have a nice week-end!

  18. The second photo is perfect -- right out of the camera James. Nice work. The first one just needs a bit of a boost.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Those are spectacular scenes, both above and on the water! Gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Very nice, love reflection photos.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hi James...
    These are very nice reflection, a double dose of Autumn in one picture.

    I'm late joining in... had to miss my Bench posting out this week... but will make up for that with Rune next week.

  22. The water looks like a mirror!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Gorgeous. I took one last weekend with this meme in mind!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Dramatic reflection of autumn textures and colours! The whole scene is like an impressionsitic painting in both photos! Stunning!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Great reflections. The colors are spectacular.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I like the submerged deadwood disappearing into the reflections of the trees.

    ReplyDelete
  27. James, I have my WR post up and a surprise for you... :)
    Love your beautiful photos of reflections! :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. You've outdone yourself! These are works of art.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Really beautiful, great place, excellent reflections.

    ReplyDelete
  30. The clarity of the reflections in the water is beautiful, James. They look just like a painting.
    Fabulous reflection shots.

    Hope 'Mr pain in you back' has gone to haunt some-body other than UR's

  31. Hey James, this is terrific, I see you've been up to all sorts of mischief here... I've been TOO busy lately, and haven't been out and about as much as I'd like to see what everyone is up to... but looks like you are doing good things here... The creek reflection photos there make me think very strongly of Crum Creek where it flows through the Swarthmore College campus... have you ever been down in those woods ?

    Your raptor photo here is lovely too...

    ReplyDelete
  32. Excellent shots James and thanks for hosting this excellent meme, it sure has caught on quickly! I think you have a real winner :-)

    ReplyDelete
  33. These are very lovely shots, very serene!

    ReplyDelete
  34. These are lovely photos of water and autumn trees.

    I found a photo to post on reflections this week.

  36. Fabulous pictures, James! Wow!
    Happy Weekend Reflections to everyone. My entry today is Petronas Twin Towers at KLCC.

  37. It´s a bit difficult to think of that as a stream because it´so still and quietly reflective. Open to all kind of illusions.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Beautifully captured reflections!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh, that top photo just thrills me. What a fabulous color palette, perfect composition, and such a tender feeling. Wonderful.

    ReplyDelete

  41. I'm sorry to be so late with logging, but Blogger has been misbehaving with my ISP and I had to use a "back-up" solution. I'll make the rounds when things are back to normal. However - The post is up thanks to preposting.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I have a very similar pic up on my blog, but it´s not nearly as beautiful with the fall colors as yours! Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh, James, how absolutely magnificent. I want to be there, NOW! thanks so much for sharing. B : )

    ReplyDelete
  44. It is very very pretty autumn color.

    ReplyDelete
  45. So pretty! I missed last week, but I'm back for this one. I see the meme is gaining new participants!

    ReplyDelete
  46. There is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said James. Except maybe a bow to acknowledge these fine masterpieces.

    ReplyDelete
  47. James, I'm glad you like the "Weekend Reflections" badge. If you would like me to make one for one of your own photos just tell me which one and I'll do it... I do really like participating in your meme! :) Happy Halloween! Boo!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Again, James, my WR post is at here
    I keep forgetting to give the exact location of my post! Duh!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I am glad too that you started this meme :-) (always makes me laugh: mémé is French for little old lady usually in a pejorative way!)
    I'm kinda sorry that all don't follow the rules though.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Gorgeous, just gorgeous. I would like to walk through my screen and be there.

    BTW, is your town pronounced like Newton in 'Fig Newton,' or is it like it looks = New Town?

    ReplyDelete
  59. Beautiful reflections James, I love that the color was captured so well in the reflection. My post this week involves trees on the water also, but we don't get the gorgeous autumn color that you do. And the raptor photo is astounding. Just beautifully captured. Have a nice weekend. Kathy

  70. These are so beautiful. Do you have an advice on how to take such wonderful photos? Is it the water has to be shallow?
