Balboa Island Museum (Weekend Reflections # 557)

Newport Beach, California

A rare local reflection after a rare rain storm.  :-)  Taken January 2020

If I would have lain flat on the ground or if my knees and back were younger, I probably could have captured more of this building reflected in a puddle between parked cars. But I was able to get the top of the building with the signage. 

Balboa Island Museum

Happy reflecting!

Guignol, Gnafron and a Statue (Weekend Reflections # 556)

Lyon, France

This is the sign for La Maison de Guignol a marionnette theater at Place de la Trinité along with the illuminated statue of Peter or maybe Joseph. The two names in the title are the two characters on the theater sign. Everything in this picture is a reflection.

Reflet d'Or (Weekend Reflections # 555)

Lyon, France

A shop window near Place Bellecour. I should have had a little more patience and tried to capture the entire reflection of the golden head, but as I often do, I made a mental note to come back...but never did. 

Have a great weekend!

A Heart for Lyon (Weekend Reflections # 554)

Lyon, France

On this evening I was meandering through Passage de l'Argue looking for an interesting reflection. I heard a group of young people talking behind me, and at the same time I noticed this reflection of a multi-colored heart. As I was trying to figure out a good angle to capture it, the group passed me and gathered right in the shot. I was annoyed and I remember thinking some not so nice thoughts. I took this shot while I waited, hoping they would leave. Then I heard what they were saying. They were taking care of an old homeless man who was taking shelter in the covered passage. Their concern and offers of help sounded genuine and loving, and I felt ashamed for being so self-centered. It was good to see compassionate youth.





Happy Mother's Day

Lyon, France

I didn't want reflections in this photo but they couldn't be avoided. At least I can post it on Weekend Reflections.  :-)

Happy reflecting!
