Passing Car Reflections (Weekend Reflections # 75)

Newtown, Pennsylvania (reflections of a car and trees in a puddle)

I was all set to take a picture of the reflection of the trees in the puddle when I heard a car coming. At first I was a little annoyed but then I thought this is something I haven't tried before and even if it doesn't look good the original photo idea will still be there. I was in the middle of trying to make up my mind when the car entered the puddle so I took two fast shots and hoped for the best. I liked the results and I like them even better in black and white and rotated 180 degrees. As you can see I was too close to capture the whole car in one frame with my 50mm lens. Always be ready for unexpected photo opportunities! :)

My Favorite Park and My Favorite Bench

Newtown, Pa (Tyler State Park) Schofield Ford Covered Bridge over the Neshaminy Creek

I haven't had much time for blogging or taking pictures lately but yesterday was such a beautiful day so I decided to walk in the park near my apartment. It's a big park with several entrances and plenty of wooded trails. I took my point and shoot camera and clicked away. The two photos above are straight out of the camera snapshots of one of my favorite spots. It's nice to see how this place changes with the seasons. Most of the time I get to enjoy these views all to myself except for the occasional dog walker or horseback rider. I dedicate this post to my friend Malyss in Nice France who has a daily blog about benches. I never really noticed benches before I started following her blogs "Chronicals from the shore" and "Benches on my way"

River Reflections (Weekend Reflections # 74)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I took this shot last month. I like the way the lights on the bridge work with their reflections to make what looks to me like a mask.

This will be my entry for the Sunday Bridges meme too.

Melted Snow (Weekend Reflections # 73)

Newtown, Pennsylvania (Tyler State Park)
I saw my reflection as I walked by this puddle of melted snow so I walked back and took this shot. That's when I noticed the cool tree branch reflections.

I haven't had much time to take photos or blog recently. I hope you all had a great week!

Camden Reflections (Weekend Reflections # 72)

Philadelphia, PA (Ben Franklin Bridge looking toward Camden New Jersey)

I wish the first lamp wasn't there because it was so bright and it blocked part of the bridge view.
Someday I hope to take a better pictures from this bridge. I took this one last month and despite the warm colors it was a lot colder and windier than I thought it would be. Plus the cars and trucks make the bridge shake. Next time I'll be more patient and maybe I'll even walk over to New Jersey and capture some Philadelphia reflections.

This will be my Sunday Bridges entry too!
