Reflections always fascinate me! Often I will stand transfixed when I see nature mirroring back from water or from glass and think, how cool! I snapped this photo of Jeff from outside the workshop. The lush forest greeted his coffee pouring while he carved a hairy woodpecker from white pine. I stood there and wondered if Jeff was reflecting his life while he sat there quietly sipping his coffee, creating something beautiful with his hands, enjoying the woods.The picture window I snapped the photo through is the one I grew up looking through. My parents gave it to me so Jeff could use it in his shop. I had my own reflections to muse over while I stood there too. :D
Ah, life has its great moments. I hope we all find time to relish the quiet times. :D
Hugs, JJ

Nature Lovin', meditation and reflection are the only way we grow. So many people are super busy and I worry they are missing cues in their lifetime when they could have enhanced their journey here. I'm happy you enjoyed the photo. :D

That's a truly beautiful photo, Nancy. I love the old world effect and especially that flame with what looks like a reflected person above it. Intriguing.

That's a great picture. On my screen it looks like a still life done in oils. Very nice.
Happy trails.

JJ what a nice pleasant post. You know funny you do that, I do that all the time with Matthew and mirrors. Beautiful photo. I am not surprised anymore, you are pro. Anna :)
Cool photo! I almost thought it was some kind of weird double-exposure.
To contemplate reflections in water is to know the Celtic mindset. And it's very relaxing, too.
A picture reflecting warmth!
To muse and think about cherished moments is like a balm to the soul.
I do it often .
Take care JJ, and hugs.
Anna, thank you, hon. We sure are kindred spirits. My kids and I used to look at reflections together too. :D
Lana, water reflections are great meditative tools for the soul. :D Thank you! Part of me is Welsh.

Those moments when you see someone seeing their own thoughts are treasures. I feel like I'm interrupting to speak when I see a far away look in my children's eyes!
