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!

    Nice reflections. I guess it's a red letter day when it rains out there, no?

    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.

    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
