Aqua Reflections

The yellow rope

Soft tones of turquoise

Floating islands and lakes

A hint of pink
 more like a painting
 than water.

Red and orange seep into blue

creating intensity

Blue ink doodles

Electrifying

Flying flag reflections

This feels like summer

and this is spring

My favourite pond
Reflecting trees and blue sky
A sigh, contentment.

A simple muted puddle reflection can transform my mood
and heighten all my senses.

Gazing at water and the changing reflections
is one of life's deep-felt pleasures

I love that emotions and water are so intricately connected with one another.
Do you feel the connection too?

  5. A special summer post and fitting for June 1. I have always had an appreciation for abstract and the last one reminds me of a Monet painting. Happy June to you Sandra

  10. Lovely water abstracts! Water is endlessly fascinating isn't it? It can take on so many different shapes, forms and colors, yet it never loses the essence of itself...

  11. Lovely, cool blue water! I do have a connection to water but mine is more with rivers and creeks, the endless flowing to somewhere! But I really enjoy looking at your reflections in the lake which is always a source for wonderful photos and words.

    1. Rivers and creeks are lovely too and they're energizing and always rushing to get somewhere - they never want to stand still! Lakes are calming and more contemplative unless strong winds whip them up and make them choppy with very interesting white-tipped waves! Best not to be on a boat at such times!

  12. Oh these blue/turquoise/aqua tones in the water just draw me in....and give me a sense of peace. Beautiful work, Sandra! The strongest connection for me is the image of the pond reflections -- love it!

  13. Yes, the two pond reflections, numbers 11 and 12, positively shimmer! That's because the water was moving due to a source at one end. All the lake reflection shots were taken on very calm water with the merest of ripples.

  14. I fell a real affinity for water and reflections. This set is truly spectacular! Wish I had made them :) It's honestly hard to pick favs, as I like them all. If I had to choose though, the first image would get my vote.
    Hope all is well with you and that you're enjoying the season!

    1. So nice to see you popping up here, Anna! I have a soft spot for that first image too, Anna. I think it's that yellow rope and all the reflections which seem to come down from that! Talk soon!

  15. You offer a watery art in all its glassy beauty. I'm drawn to water; even as a child, I loved to walk in the rain and watch storms. Your pond is a tranquil scene while most of my water sources this spring are torrents because of the melting snow.
