Hummingbird at Inspiration Point

I was walking up a hill to a place called Inspiration point and I saw a couple on a bench enjoying the ocean view. They were able to escape my lens because this guy caught my eye.

He was very tiny and he gladly posed for a couple of shots.

Then he decided to fly away. To be honest I was amazed that he was able to lift his chubby little body with those short wings. These were taken in Corona Del Mar California. I think it's interesting that he has red on the side of his neck in the bottom photo but not in the top.

The Sun and the Moon (Weekend Reflections # 19)

I went in for a closer look at the interesting house that I posted yesterday. When I entered the alley I saw a shallow puddle of water and in the water I saw the subtle reflection of the moon and sun from the house. I rotated it for better viewing. You might have to stare at it a little but I think it's pretty neat the way they fit right into the little puddle. I'm glad that I noticed them.

Casa de la Luna y el Sol

I saw this interesting house on Balboa Island in California. I'm posting these pictures today because they tie in with my subtle reflection photo for Weekend Reflections.

Hitching a Ride with a Feathered Friend

This is a nice way to see California.

The Simple Life

I have lots of pictures to go through which can be overwhelming, so I decided to post a peaceful picture. I took this at Newport Beach around sunset either just before the storms rolled in or in between storms.

I decided to add this to Watery Wednesday which has always been one of my favorite memes. Checkout Watery Wednesday here.

The Golden Hour in the Golden State

It was great to be back in California even with all of the rain and a small tornado. It was wonderful to see friends and family. Thankfully it didn't rain 24/7 and I was able to take several pictures. This is the Huntington Beach Pier at my favorite time of the day.

I'll be posting more of the California pictures here and at Something Sighted.

Cold Reflections (Weekend Reflections #18)

I'll be in California when this posts, but I'll be returning to the cold soon after.

Trees and Sky Hitching a Ride on an Icy River (Weekend Reflections #17)

This is just a picture of water, ice and a little dirt but the reflections give it a whole new dimension.

-I'm away this week and next, so I won't be online as much as usual. Weekend Reflections will continue as normal and I'll post and comment now and then too.

Lake Luxembourg Ice Fishers

I think this is the first time that I've seen a completely frozen lake.



I kept my distance, I didn't dare to go on the ice.

I almost didn't take the bottom picture because the sun was already behind the trees and almost gone. I wonder if I should have used the flash.

Today I'm posting three views of three men fishing on Lake Luxembourg. They were taken on the same walk as the sunset picture from the previous post.

-We leave on a another trip tomorrow. A clue to the direction can be found in the post before this one. Can you guess where we are going? I plan on posting some pictures from our trip at Something Sighted on Friday.

I'll be away for two Weekend Reflections but I've scheduled them in advance so please make yourselves at home. I'll be blogging sporadically while I'm away. (Nothing new there. :)

Sunset Silhouettes

This was at the end of a nice walk today at Core Creek Park.

Mr. Blue Sky (Weekend Reflections #16)

As soon as I saw this sculpture in the window surrounded by the reflected sky I knew the title for this post. This week my entry is more about the whole picture rather than just the reflection. I'll post the reflection of yesterday's post another time.

The Embers of the Day

I took this picture last week in Newtown. I also captured a reflection of this scene in a window so I think you will be seeing this view again someday.

Finally Warm Enough for a Walk

Although it was still below freezing, the temperature was up and the wind speed was down so I went for a drive and found this nice frozen lake to walk around. Vicki showed me a website for making frames for photos, so I decided to play around with it.

New Year's Day (Weekend Reflections #15)

Happy New Year!

This is a reflection in a shop window in Prague. You can see a typical scene but if you look closely it appears that the man and woman in the reflection are also on the staircase that's inside the shop.
