Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflection

This week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is Reflection.   In the challenge post, Jared Bramlett wrote about reflections in water, windows and mirrors.  He posted a photograph of a bridge with a mirror used in the composition.

Reading the post gave me an idea:   I’ve had a large mirror — about 3 feet by 5 feet — currently set in a spare bedroom while we work on some remodeling and redecorating elsewhere.  My original idea was to use the mirror to get a shot of the outside through the windows, similar to the photos that I posted about a month ago of the outside reflecting on a glass shower door.   The light wasn’t right — either with natural sunlight or with a flash to get the reflections I wanted.  When I had time to do this, it wasn’t the right time of day.  But, I liked this shot.  It reminds me a little bit about the artistic joke of the artist painting a picture of a landscape artist painting a picture of the landscape artist painting the landscape . . . into eternity.  Except, in this case, the “artist” was not in the picture.   Not sure whether I should title this “Camera: Self-Portrait” or “In the mind’s eye”.

Green

This week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is GREEN.  Most of the trees around me have finished showing off  their fall plumage.   The bright colors are gone and there is little left that is green.  Grays and browns have taken over until Spring.

But, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t green things around me:

Only when crushed by tires on the drive did the last bit of green show on this leaf.

These found their way to my home from the farmers’ market. The light shone through my window casting the beautiful prism.

Buds on the Mums — still!

Computer Bug. Found its way inside and rested atop my Macbook on a cold day. I helped him find his way back outside

Seltzer

They looked pretty — just right for eating. Best B. Sprouts recipe: sprouts, bacon, apple. Saute in bacon fat or butter until nearly done. Add cooked bacon and cheese. Remove from heat. Cover. Stir when ready to serve.
