Spare Reflections (Weekend Reflections # 80)

Ivyland, PA (Tanner Brothers Dairy Farm) It's a reflection in a spare tire cover on the back of a car. The reflection is warped but there's a dairy farm with two silos, a wooden fence,cars,the sun in a blue sky,power lines,and me and my shadow. Speaking of me, my back is finally getting better! I'm still not able to sit or stand in one place very long but I am able to walk with much less pain and my pain is less overall. :) Happy Days are almost here again! I hope all is well with all of you. I'll stop by and say hello as much as I can. 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!

    A wonderfully enlivening photo. I enjoy the colours and the shapes and the glimpses of things (and you!) 'beyond'. One of my favourites.

    P.S. The first thing I looked for when I arrived on this post was to see how your back is - then I forgot to mention it here - so pleased it is easing up. Hope it is completely better soon.

    Firstly...I am glad you are feeling much better. It's not fun, I am sure! Secondly...this is such a great reflection...so much detail and so beautifully composed! I like how the tire cover fills the screen...a super duper photo, James!

    Neat shot James. I like the warped "colored pencil" character of the back of the cover. A modern continental kit. When I was a kid building model cars, they were always lowered in the rear and had the continental kit installed. I like 'em.

    My reflection is here.

    Hey James, Glad to hear the back is on the mend... can't keep a good man down !

    Only you could make a spare tire holder on a 4x4 look this good I think. Looking forward to seeing the results of you getting back out and around soon.
