I went looking for reflections, but…
I didn’t find many
But I did find lots of boats
And you know I like a boat or two
This wasn’t quite the reflection I had in mind
Isn’t it looking pretty today?
Found a whisper of a reflection
And the sun playing in the water
And around the Black Diamond training ship
Hooray! A cloud reflected in the window
Flat calm- fluffy clouds in the inner harbour
At last! A full on reflection
Next week’s Thursday’s Special has the theme ‘reflections’. On a clear bright day this week I thought I’d get ahead of the game. But there was just enough wind to ripple the water and make my task that little bit harder. No matter! I enjoyed playing anyway.
I won’t be going anywhere near Hartlepool marina this weekend. It’s grey and wet! Maybe we’re saving the sunshine for next weekend’s long Easter Break. Wherever you are I hope you have a happy weekend. And don’t forget to visit Cate at Show My Face to play Six word Saturday.

Thanks, Tish 🙂 The bright breeziness has blown the rain clouds away again today but I’m lacking the energy to blow along with them.

Hi Jo – enjoyed this stroll – and variety of reflections! saw a boat I loved so much – the white one with gray (6th photo in)
~ also, your post today reminded me of Henri Matisse’s “The Boat” painting – because it was hung upside down – and it actually was when someone noticed that the reflection was not correct that something was “off” – hmmm – the reflection was everything in this very simple piece he made…..

I am a “Boat” fanatic and have even owned a couple and sailed on a few more so you can imagine how much I enjoyed your photographs. I have great memories of sailing across the Mediterranean in a converted trawler during a decent gale, and the way the boat rocked and plunged through the waves. An exhilarating voyage to have survived 🙂
