Silo Reflections (Weekend Reflections # 79)

Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania

I took this a couple of weeks ago on the day my back really started giving me problems.

Check out the reflection of the silo in this field. I saw the water and hoped to capture a reflection of the barn but I just managed to get the silo.

Thanks for all of the nice comments and well wishes last week! I'm still not able to sit in a chair for very long so I regret that I won't be around to comment. I thought about leaving my comments off this week, but then I remembered that sometimes I need to help with Linky problems. Let me know if you have any Linky trouble. I'll check every so often. Hopefully, I'll be taking pictures and blogging soon. I'll still post Weekend Reflections every Friday in the meantime. Have a great weekend!

If needed, please click the link in the top right corner for Weekend Reflections instructions.
Now, lets have some fun with Weekend Reflections!

    Hope your back clears up quickly! That's a small puddle to get a complete barn! Nice shot of the silo. Mr Link's a little slow but got the job done without a problem.

    It's surprising how far a reflection can be from its source.

    Bad backs are horrible and agitating and restless-making and painful and . . .

    Wishes don't exactly help - but I wish you better, none the less.

    It's an image that suggests a rustic and cybernetic at the same time.

    Your picture has a very special mood,it could be sad but something in the light is saying that it's end of winter, and that spring hope is in the air..

    I love this reflection my friend. It is beautiful and the black and white adds so much. :) I'm back to blogging, hopefully LOL and wouldn't you know I made a mistake with the link above. The first one said it was too big so I did it over and now there are two. If you can will you please delete the second one. Mahalo my friend and have a great weekend :)

    That's a wonderful shot, James...I love the silo in the puddle!

    Sorry to hear you're not well. Definitely don't worry about comments, but when you're better you might check out my last two posts which feature Monument Valley pics, if that side trip still fits in with your plans.

    Take good care of yourself...:)

    Poor you with this back making you suffer that much... I hope you will get better quickly ; being sick is really so annoying... But i can see that even if the back is bad, you can still take good picture, and that is really marvellous...

    I wish you well...

    Positive thoughts from France, my dear James...

    James, I agree with Pat... go see a chiropractor! I found a superb one here in Bucharest and my back issues are almost fixed. Glad you captured this image of a reflection of the silo in a puddle amid winter bleakness... very cool.

    Sorry to hear about your back. I've been out for the count with bursitis in my hip and not getting out with the camera. So I haven't really been by for a bit. I think I am back in business. I hope you are soon as well.

    Your reflection shot is beautifully composed, an exquisite dance of light and dark. The water looks like liquid mercury!

    I'm so very sorry to hear your back is still in pain. Living with physical pain is so difficult. I do hope you are on the mend this week.
