Family Fun on the Other Side (Weekend Reflections # 35)

Last weekend I was walking along a creek and I noticed a family standing in front of the water on the other side. This is their reflection. From left to right ( 1. a little boy looking at something in his hands, 2.) a women in shorts bent over holding a red leash, 3) a man in white walking toward the scene with a drink in his hand, 4) the black dog on the red leash, 5) a little girl poking a stick in the water, she's about to be licked by the dog.) You can also see the reflection of the trees and the dirt.
I rotated this picture because I liked it this way better.

Les Papillons Jaune


Last week I was fortunate enough to capture some bees in flight. This weekend I was walking in a large park in outskirts of Philadelphia when I saw these beautiful butterflies next to a creek. The bottom one's shadow reminds me of Batman and the top one looks like she has a parasol. Besides the yellow and black they also have some red and blue near their tail end.
Anyone know what type of butterfly they are?

Looking Down to see What's Up (Weekend Reflections # 34)

This is the reflection of the blue sky and some sunlit branches in the shallow part of a pond. I focused on the reflection and left the water grass blurry. To be honest I was hoping to capture the reflection of a bird flying over but no luck this time.
One year ago today May 14th 2009 did my first post on this blog. I'd just arrived in Pennsylvania after a long journey from Texas. However I was already a 2 month blogging veteran since I started Something Sighted in March of 2009. Now a big Thank You to all of you! You've made this blog and Weekend Reflections way more successful than I ever imagined. I would also like to say that Pennsylvania is even better than I thought it would be. It's funny how things happen. A year and a half ago I didn't know anything about Pennsylvania, blogging or photography. :) Have a great Weekend!
