Reflections of Nature

reflection 01                Yours truly enjoying puddles of rainwater

           Here, a little ice had formed, but it melted quickly.

Tree branches reaching across the tea-colored creek.  Now I’m not sure if they are reflections or shadows…maybe both!

Great reflections, and shadows. Looks like buds on those last trees. Yea, spring!

Lovely reflections in the puddle and creek. I really like the reflection of the saguaro in the puddle because there is only a hint of the saguaros above the puddle.

James said...

Each one is a very strong photo and they really look great!

Kat said...

I love your images from the desert. I had no idea there was so much color in a desert landscape, but you show it to us again and again. The blue sky in that first shot is just breathtaking. Kathy

Martha Z said...

Your desert should bloom with all that water.

John McDevitt said...

The first shot really grabs me -- excellent!!!

Ebie said...

I love both the shadows and the reflections! Hoping to see desert blooms with all the rain!

Enjoy your weekend!
