Paula, what a gorgeous reflection! I love the way my eyes go back and forth between seeing the reflection and feeling as if there’s a hole in the middle of the shot.

I love the pic, and I love that it’s preceded by music that really conveys the zen feeling.
Can you tell me how you could include the music without displaying a SoundCloud logo (if it’s from SoundCloud). I’m thinking of preceding a post on Cologne Cathedral by an organ piece, that’s why I’m asking.

I was wondering if the pingback of my post for your challenge last week worked. Need to check that. I’m having issues with that lately.

        My pleasure!
        I am happy that I found this out today. It’s the third case today! Have to talk to the happy engineers from WordPress. I only discovered the other two cases because I read their blogs and saw the links to my blog but could not recall having ever seen it. And I was right as they made the link but it went as page not found. Your was the same when I checked earlier today.

      I remember that you mentioned it last week, and I thought it wasn’t ready yet as I could not find it. Now I realise that your most recent posts are not the ones that are shown first on your blog.

A spectacular piece of found sculpture, and as always an imaginative interpretation of the theme. I’m always delighted by reflections, so your photo gives me many pleasures.

Superb interpretation! Not a duck or a swan in sight 🙂 🙂 I’m clinging on to that branch for dear life! Truly, a great shot, Paula.
It would do for Reflection or Water too, but you won’t be so predictable. Sadly I won’t be about to see this week’s TS. I almost made it to the end of the soundtrack. Wish I could carry them with me when I change posts. 🙂
Happy weekend!

        No- this is a ‘routine’ visit. Dad likes to be there on 4th May (birthdays and public holiday for Adam, who is a baker). There may be a wedding later this year! 🙂
