Balboa Island, Newport Beach, CaliforniaVicki and I love to take evening walks on Balboa Island. Normally I watch the sunset but this time I turned around in time to discover some pretty cool reflections. About a second after I took this shot a duck swam by and ruined the reflections. :)

It is so still, like a mirror. I can understand why you go there so often.
Now that's what I call a backyard! Fabulous reflections.
Ouch! Hope the epidural goes well James.
Wow, beautiful capture. There are so many reflections at play here.
Hope the injection isn't too painful, have a great weekend.
Yes, a perfect mirror. Good thing you got the shot before the duck messed up the mirror. Nice colors too.
Lovely scene, nicely captured. I hope your epidural helps!!
A perfect shot! You can even turn the photo upside down and don't see the difference.
What a wonderful reflection shot! I can't believe the water is so still for such a mirror image.
Good luck on your epidural - I hope all comes out well for you.
Now, THIS is quite a mirror reflection, minus the mirror.
Hope the epidural brings you relief.
The thing I notice first is how still water is. Perfect reflection.
That is a picture perfect reflection! You obviously caught it right in time.
Good luck with your procedure this morning!
What perfect timing, that is beautiful.
Great reflections! Have a wonderful weekend.
Great reflections! Have a wonderful weekend.
beautiful reflections James...mirror perfect!
beautiful shot!!! and speaking of shots, i hope yours goes well (and painlessly?!)
I'm with you for the epidural..I went to hospital today, and have big problems with my knee..
And I can't link! I tried the way you explained last week , but could not.
Lyckily, your picture offers some peace and serenity.Sometimes it's good to get lost in such mirrors..
Hardis les coeurs!
Beautiful reflections in the still water. Hope your shot went well.
Très jolie atmosphère, une invitation au repos et à la contemplation.
Those damn ducks!! LOL.
Perfect mirror reflection. Love the shot. Even the boats are perfectly reflected.
Hope you feel better. I had one of those injections once. Better to stay flat for as long as possible. The headache can be a BIT%@ Blog tomorrow instead-or from the couch.
Happy weekend James.
whoa, that shot sounds like you might be in some pain. I hope all goes well. your reflections are smooth and light-catching gorgeous. thanks for hosting. take good care.
Very beautiful picture. So clear this reflection! LG Tina
Awesome!
Smooth as glass! Nice catch. Hope that helps your back and you are feeling better.
Perfect reflection!
I'm sorry your back is bothering you again, and hope you're soon feeling better.
well caught before the duck broke the calmness.
Hello, JAMES.
Three houses look like the expression of three people.
The domestic annual rings may be engraved there.
Thank you for heartwarming scene.
Have a good weekend.
Greetings.

perhaps the duck was admiring the reflections :)

I hope your back gets better, I'll be thinking of you
Wow, like glass. Hope your back is soon feeling as serene as this looks—and no ducks!
Fabulous capture, James. I have great memories of Balboa Island, thanks for refreshing them.

Beautiful scene! Often it pays to look behind us for the right shot.
Clever centre-ing, James, with a neat on the side attraction.

The angle of this scene makes me thinkof the canals in Amsterdam - both with houses of people who are well to do:)
He leadeth me beside still waters.
This is true for your lovely picture and I hope for your health too.
Hope that injection helps!
Great shot! Take care!
WOW. Perfect reflection. Looks so quite and peaceful.
Do you live close to that waterfront?
such pretty reflections
Hehe... only an obsessive reflection hunter would curse a duck for ruining the mirror image! I get it! Nice one... looks like a great spot.
Beatiful, strong watery reflection! Love the colours!
I just love reflections in water. That little house on the right reminds me of a cute face with red lips.
Hope everything went well, and you are feeling better.

This is a great reflection !
A perfect reflection - with not a ripple to give it away!
This is perfect, but I love to see the design the ducks make in a reflection! :) Hope your epidural wasn't to horrible!
Gosh, I've been there a zillion times and never noticed the perfection of the reflection! You have really opened my eyes! I pray that you get immense and total relief from your epidural injection. You have been a real trooper!
Hi James! Hope you feel better soon! Love your reflections photo....it's beautiful!! My post is up now.
Fabulous capture. Love the jewel colors! Hope your spine thing has great results.
Le miroir parfait ! Bravo !
I love the scene. Great shot.
Perfect mirror image. Great timing. Hope you have a speedy recovery after your medical procedure.
Such clear and bright reflections - beautiful photo. Looks like a nice walk too. I hope things went well with your procedure.
I am glad you was able to take the shot before the duck arrived.
Take care. :)
I recognized Balboa Island right away! My brother-in-law lives on the island!
That aside...I love this photo! What luck to capture the glassy water reflection! Beautifully done James!
Well you have been blessed that the duck did disturb this marvellous reflection earlier ! So neat and so soft at the same time : it is one rare picture, thanks for sharing it !
Such clear reflections! They are awesome.
James, I love the color in this and how exciting to have a whole new venue for your photographic skills! I will participate again next weekend... been traveling with work
Bises,

It is a very amazing clear reflection! It is difficult to see which is the fake.
Perfect reflections, not a puff of wind anywhere.
Cool shot. Hope you've recovered from your injections, James.
A wonderful mirror! So beautiful and so neat!
Thanks for sharing, James;o)
