    Wow!! 5 years! I'm so glad I found you - this is something I look forward to each week...and that has given me another perspective as I walk and wander that I just love! I think that celebrating with a splash of Paris is just perfect! Chin chin! Et a votre sante!

    Five years! Congratulations, James!
    You've sure gotten a lot of people thinking about reflections over the years.
    Just wish we had more water or more non-dust-covered surfaces here in the desert so I could have more reflections for you and the group.
    Keep up the good work!

    Five years and still a raging success ... you must be so proud. I went back to your first post from Philadelphia and it is amazing that todays post is very similar. I wasn't there five years ago, but I have enjoyed you for several years and plan to continue for many more. Thank you for inspiring our imaginations and letting us see a world that we might not have noticed had it not been for you. Congrats, James ... it has been well worth your efforts ...

    Congratulations with your 5th celebration. You have one of the most succesful memes I think. I can't walk somewhere anymore without seeing a reflection in so many things, nature, homes, streets. They are everwhere!
    Thank you so much for changing my view at objects.
