Living, as we do, in a watery environment, many of our best reflection pictures are reflections in the smooth surface of the river or pond. But a few are something else.
Photographs by Garry and Marilyn Armstrong.

It’s one of the best parts of autumn around here. So many rivers and ponds. When the trees are so colorful, we get some amazing reflections!

These are wonderful photos but I like the reflection of you taking the photo of Rocky Bottom. Such a busy place!

It was a big fundraising event and BORING. I took pictures instead of trying for conversation 🙂

Does anyone really enjoy those events? If someone does, I haven’t met them yet.

I think there are some people who quietly wander around, absorbing the gathering and thinking this is how “the upper crust” lives. Then, they go home and tell their friends fabricated tales of a wondrous party.

Don’t you love that expression, ‘the upper crust?” Like I am the bottom of the pot pie! Always cracks me up.

These are all truly lovely shots, but I must admit I’m partial to the third one. Good one, Garry. 🙂

Our “little bridge” over a very tiny feeder creek. We haven’t been able to get there this year because the bridge over the road is out and being rebuilt. It had become dangerous … and they tore it down in May, so we have not been back this season. You can’t actually get to that little bridge anymore. There used to be a dirt trail, but it has completely overgrown. I think Garry got the definitive picture.

I really like the last photo. The fact that it is a “non-perfect” reflection enhances the photo

Garry has a brilliant eye for reflections and perfection … and knows when a little IMperfection will make it more perfect 🙂

It was the very end of last year’s autumn … which lasted until December. We got colors we usually don’t see and that dark red/bronze was a major player in that palette.

They are Garry’s favorite, too. He shoots reflections every opportunity, so he has more (and better) reflection shots than I do 🙂

That particular day — last November — the trees still had leaves, but they were all bronze. In that late afternoon light, they really looked like gold and the reflections were amazing.

Thanks! Some of our ponds have almost no current and the ponds formed before dams are also smooth as glass. When the light is right, they are perfect mirrors.
