This is the reflection of the blue sky and some sunlit branches in the shallow part of a pond. I focused on the reflection and left the water grass blurry. To be honest I was hoping to capture the reflection of a bird flying over but no luck this time.One year ago today May 14th 2009 did my first post on this blog. I'd just arrived in Pennsylvania after a long journey from Texas. However I was already a 2 month blogging veteran since I started Something Sighted in March of 2009. Now a big Thank You to all of you! You've made this blog and Weekend Reflections way more successful than I ever imagined. I would also like to say that Pennsylvania is even better than I thought it would be. It's funny how things happen. A year and a half ago I didn't know anything about Pennsylvania, blogging or photography. :) Have a great Weekend!

very refreshing to visit a natural occurrence like
yours. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your beautiful reflections ... and this is no exception. I love your other photos too though I don't always find time to comment ... especially of late since life's taken me in new directions away from the computer. Here's to many more years of 'reflections' ...
Hugs and blessings,
Your photo is a great tribute to your anniversary, congratulations! Pennsylvania isn't so bad. There's a lot of history here, so plenty of opportunities.
ReplyDeleteThank you James for stting up this blog, it is wonderful to come here every week and look around the world! You have done a good deed:)

Congratulations James! I have always enjoyed your blog. This reflection is lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo my friend and the reflection is wonderful. Love it. Congratulations on your one year with your blog. How wonderful. I have to tell you it must be a connection we have. 9 years ago today my Grandfather passed away. I did a post today on my Flash 55. I think that and your starting this blog on the same day must have been some kind of karma. A good one at that. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Please do keep them coming. I truly enjoy your work. Beautiful shot. Great looking colors. Let's celebrate!
ReplyDeleteThank you James for hosting this meme. You are appreciated! And I love your own pictures.

If I didn't know that this was Weekend Reflections, I would have thought this was a regular shot of trees against the sky — the reflection's that clear!

ReplyDeleteI love the blur reflection :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent image James. You'll get the bird next time. Congratulations on making it through the first year. You jogged my memory and I just looked at my first post. What a coincidence!! My first Aware Writer post was on May 14, 2009. Ain't that a hoot!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe it's just been a year James.
Congrats James, it is also a beauty pic of reflections.
ReplyDeleteWow - what a shot. I think I'm all turned around!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful reflection. I love reflection shots and have thought about participating in this theme but haven't yet since I do several weekend themes already between my two blogs. However, since my mono posts are often reflections, I may starting doing both themes in one throw. Thanks for visiting Carver Cards and for your comment. I always enjoy the photography on your blogs.
ReplyDeleteI like the color in this.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, James! I love reflections shot, and I`m very happy for weekend reflection:-)
I'm totally puzzled by this image and the post's title! :)
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!
Cezar
Hey James, I think it's fabulous how this has really taken off, like a whole flock of birds, even if no bird flew by for the photo, they are flocking here...
ReplyDeleteWonderful... perhaps next week I'll have a reflection ready in time...
Oh, also, I noticed you mentioned Pennsylvania here a couple of times. If you have a moment do drop by my place to see the photos of a war monument the state of Pennsylvania had put up in France, commemorating WWI fallen. Being from Pennsylvania, I was quite surprised to find it...
