Sky Watch Friday: Photographic Reflections



I have been participating in a reflections photo challenge this week with Quilly. I wanted to be able to combine that and Sky Watch so this is my combination offering for the two memes. This is my Jeep sitting in the driveway. I took two angles. In the first photo you see the sky overhead reflected in the gate of the Jeep. Just below that you can see the sky behind me reflected in the painted section of the gate. If you enlarge the first image you can also see a reflection within the reflection from the rearview mirror that is right of center in the photo.
In the second photo you see our detached garage and trees from the nearby woods.

Wherever you are I hope blue skies are shining on you.

  1. Who ever things to look in the windshield or someplace besides up at the sky? Not me. You got a perfect sky in these two pictures.

  2. I really like the reflections of those clouds. They don't look too rainy and they are just floating away up above.

  33. That is really good thinking to set up those shots. I like them a lot!
    It is good to think outside the box as the saying goes.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Like the reflection, good idea. Send those deer north, I will feed them and protect them in deer season, as long as they let me sit on my rocker and watch them.
