sunday was, indeed, sunny, and serene, so my patient partner and i headed towards the beemster and the schermer for a wondrous windless afternoon out and about.
the sky and the scenery were mirrored in every stripe and stretch of still water,
and i found myself, for a change, gazing earthward as much as heavenward,
and only the ripples wrinkling the reflections - and the upside-down-ness of
everything -
disclosed the direction of my eyes, and the direction of my camera.
*for you, btezra: because you are, as you once mentioned here, a "sucker for reflex shots~".
beautiful series! the first one is my favorite closely followed by the second one. :)
ReplyDeleteGo the duck ... hard to distinguish ripple from twig ... great stuff, lynn

These are so beautiful. I especially like the first one because of its, uh, smudginess?
ReplyDeleteawesome series, lynn! the laundry on the clothesline is my favorite, but they're all lovely:)
ReplyDeleteI like clouds, so 2 must be my favo. But a great series, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteA Sunday well spent.
Ah, have you had the feeling, where you lay on the ground and look up into the sky.. and it feels like... you are about to fall?
ReplyDeleteRight. I'm so scared of that feeling. when ever I look up into the clear sky (on my back, of course) --- I felt like I'm going to fall... and your pictures gave me that same effect :)
This series of images really made my hectic day... beautiful work and a wonderful reminder to take a deep breath and look in a different direction! :)
ReplyDeletelynn i looked at these and went ohhhhhhhhh, the way you do when you see beautiful fireworks... these really are stunning. especially the boat at the top. that is beautiful - composition, colour, everything. thank you.
ReplyDeleteLovely series, Lynn! My fav is the first one -- love boats. Seems like you had a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteSo many reasons to love water, but its reflective quality is one of my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI don't visit your site as often as I might--I'm on dial-up and the multiple pix take a while to download--but I'm always glad when I do. I like the novelty, the intelligence, the humor, the heart and the beauty of your shots and their accompanying thoughts. Thanks for enriching my day--
ReplyDeleteGreat cropping on the top photo of the boat. I also love the yellow in the rope and the hints of yellow on the seat. Very nice.
