Double Reflection

looks much better enlarged
The reflection in our patio door is not only of the sunset, but also of the reflection of the sunset off of the water in our swimming pool.

We'll be on the road for a week starting on Sunday. Our Internet connection is sure to be hit and miss, but I'll be checking in for sure! Have a great weekend everyone!

For reflections by other photographers go to Weekend Reflections by James.

  16. I love this picture and yes, it looks even better when enlarged. This is such a pretty picture all captured in the window with those bright flowers framing it. Plus, I'm a sucker for sunsets and the ocean.

  23. Anthony - thanks so much! You are so right about the "eye." Granny always said that it doesn't matter how technical you are with a camera if you don't the "eye" for it.

    faye - Thanks faye! We will!

    California Girl - I am very happy to say that we are retired. We do take a lot of trips, but usually don't stay in hotels, so it doesn't cost much.

    Anon - I got a point for ya!

    Alex - I couldn't help but see it, I was being blinded! Thanks Alex!

    Sarah - Thanks so much! Say, I keep getting messages from your school email server, saying my comments aren't being accepted.

    Have a great trip, Pat.

  29. if I have a house with a swimming pool, I will noi go away. I was reading this children's book, mum had to do everything when they went on holidays.

    When she came home, Ah!!! that's holidays for me.

  35. Megan - that's why we live here! thanks!

    Ann - I understand that. We really do enjoy our back yard, but we also like to get out of town.

    jeannette - We love our pool, but it's really nothing more than a hole in the ground that we shovel money into!

    Rek - Thanks so much Rek!

    Genie - Thanks Genie! I'd like to have my foot on (and over) the border. Maybe next spring...

    Ven - Please do make it your background. I was very lucky to spot it.

    Rosemary - So it is! We're planning on it! Thanks!

  36. I love the pool epsecially in this hot weather. Enjoy your road trip.

    When you get a chance, and when the weather cools off, the Satwiwa is really a nice place for a simple hike.

  38. Very cool, Pat! Love the flowers too!

  41. Ebie - Thanks! We will indeed enjoy it. I certainly do want to see and hike the Satwiwa. thanks for that!

    Baby Sister - Thanks so much! It was a great find.

  42. Maybe that's an angel you saw. Or some being entering our world from a wormhole. All I'm saying is be careful when you see something like this and be prepared to run!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Have fun on your latest adventure. What a life!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Chris - I almost missed it also!

    Stephen - l'm thinking wormhole!
