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.
Fire and water don’t mix, do they? Which is a real shame because I wanted to submit this for Thursday’s Special and you never saw a hotter image of Paula!
Clever effect, isn’t it? Visit Lunapic to see how it’s done. Many thanks to Amanda for helping to increase my wisdom.
You know what’s coming, don’t you? Earlier in the week a delicious sunset drew me into Sue’s Word a Week Photo Challenge. Reflect was the subject, and as Sue seemed to be suggesting, time for a little nostalgia and a few reflections of my own.
It’s been a great year, from Barcelona in November all the way back to my daughter’s wedding in February. If you click on a photo it will take you back to the original post.
Sagrada Familia, reflected in the lake in Barcelona’s Gaudi Square
The tip of Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, reflected in the pond
Girona was one of my favourite cities this year
One of Durham’s lovely bridges reflected in Autumn shadows
Reflections of Newcastle’s bustling city centre
I spent some lovely days in Whitby, North Yorkshire, this Summer
And with Aunt Lusia in Zawady- this is her garden pond.
It was a little cloudy for reflections- can you see the Transporter Bridge?
HMS Trincomalee, in the Georgian windows of Hartlepool Maritime Experience
A sparkling, clear day on Hartlepool beach- a “day in my life”
Haven’t seen this bridge for a while, have you? I’m returning soon.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but recently WordPress has started to include links to “related posts” at the bottom of the page? I presume it encourages people to stay with you and wander through your site in a way that the page layout often doesn’t. I guess Be With Us found my Weekly Photo Challenge post A Day in my Life in this manner? However it happened, I was delighted to return with them to an April day this year and a stroll on my beach. It prompted me to write this post.
One of my New Year’s resolutions must be to introduce some changes into this tired old Restlessjo site, or even be bold and start a new blog. Hope you’ll stay with me for another year, good or bad. Meanwhile, huge respect to Sue for her challenge, and all the other folks who mount challenges throughout the year. Thanks for reflecting on 2013 with me.
Yes, that’s my shadow on the stone pillar. Careless me!
This time of year always has me in reflective mood. No matter how bright the sunshine, I always know that Winter is waiting, just around the corner. But we have had the occasional sparkling day in this last week or so, and I have been determined to make the most of them. Come stroll with me in my Durham gallery of sunshine and shadows.
And another Durham day has flown away.
Cee has given me the perfect opportunity this week to share a few Reflections and Shadows. Please click on the link to see some wonderful photographs.
I’m hoping your week will have more sunshine than shadow.
