Weekend Reflections - Birdbath

I enjoy taking pictures of reflections in water, but they can be a challenge to find here in the desert. However, today I noticed a pleasant surprise in the birdbath in my patio.

It wasn't a reflection of a bird, although it would be nice to capture one sometime.

When I zoomed in, I noticed my neighbor's tree has lemons on it. So my weekend reflection is lemons in the birdbath.

  4. Birthbath is very clever (and pretty reflection)! And I love seeing lemons green and yello next to each other.

  9. Works well as a low key image -- even without the bird.

  10. I like your reflections. Must be time to make lemonade. ;-)
    I never think to take reflection shots but maybe that's because there isn't a whole lot of water around here.

  14. What a refreshing image, particularly since it is also taken in a desert.

  15. Yes it's hard in the desert isn't it? I had to go and look for one taken abroad (lol)
    I like particularly the first one you took.

  19. Yes, it would be very cool to photograph a bird in your bird bath ... one day!! However, don't hold your breath.

    In the meantime, you have captured a lovely reflection of a lemon tree, fruit and all.

    Not bad for a desert!
