Reflections - Reflected sun light


When I walked into our kitchen the stove and wall were lit by sunlight reflected off a neighbor's car window. I grabbed my camera before starting the coffee.

Where have all the flowers gone?

I think I have found the answer to the question Pete Seeger (and others) asked back in the 1960's. The squirrels ate the flowers.  Or maybe we are going to have tiny oak trees in our hanging basket.

Reflections - Focal point

 A wall mirror in our living room reflects a dining room chair
highlighted by the sun coming through a window.

Reflections - Lily in water

A little shadow, a little reflection and a beautiful water lily!

Last week Andrea Priebe commented that she would like to see more of the bridge that was reflected in my post, so I have posted more images of the bridge in a previous here.

Carroll Street Bridge - revisited

Carroll Street Bridge seen from the pedestrian bridge

Last week I posted a reflection of part of the Carroll Street Bridge for "Reflections". Andrea Priebe commented that she would like to see more of the bridge, so here are some recent images of the bridge and a little history. The bridge is actually standard concrete construction. The stone blocks and other features were the work of William Cochran and others who painted the concrete to look like stone masonry and other objects. For more history of the bridge go to Community Bridge.

Reflections - in flood waters


We had heavy rain about 2 weeks ago that flooded parts of Baker Park along Carroll Creek. In fact, the park is part of the flood control for Frederick, preventing flooding in the business district. This picture is several days after the flood and the creek was already back in is banks (in the trees at the top of this picture).

Reflections - A collage


Two weeks ago I spotted this store window in Frederick. The reflections of the street scene and the buildings across the street reminded me of a collage.

The blue box and its puddle are gone, but a few warmer days and another rain gave me a new puddle in the same spot, but with a different reflection.

Around this time of year (and again in the fall) the late afternoon sun reflects off the windows of the building across the street onto the eastern side of this building.

Reflections - Outdoor necessity


This reflection greeted me as I went to get the paper after a rainy night. The blue box is now gone and was there for the convenience of the workers fixing the road.
