In the past there just never seemed to be the right opportunity to participate in one of these weekly photo challenges.  I’m either behind on posts or my internet connection is sketchy due to our location.

Humorous

Now that I’ve brought you all up to date on our happenings and this weeks photo challenge is “reflections”, it seems like the perfect opportunity to jump into the WordPress weekly photo challenge arena.

I enjoy this type of photography.  Whiling reviewing my photos and narrowing down the choices for this post, I reflected on my emotions at the time each photo was taken.  Under each photograph is one word depicting my feelings at that particular moment…. what I felt the moment I clicked on that shutter.

Hope you enjoy my take on reflections 🙂

    behind on my reading and hoping to catch up – love the photos….especially spiritual. I love the perspective of the pier and the calmness of the water…. it is that time of the day when it is quiet calming and a feeling of peace comes over us…..thanks. I hope you are feeling much better and getting to do the things that make you tick!

      Thanks Nina. Enjoy ability at Lake Pleasant can be hit or miss based on local traffic. It’s a nice back up when one doesn’t make a reservation at another Maricopa County Reg Parks but be sure there’s no fishing tournament happening 🙂

    I have learned something new. With every photo I take, well with most photos, I shall try to feel the emotions. Sometimes we get caught up in the moment and do not “reflect.” Thanks for sharing! All the photos are beauties. The spiritual bridge is my favorite.

    Great idea..Sometimes I have said that (especially photographing wildlife), it’s best to take a picture in your brain at that moment in time and know you cannot duplicate your emotions in a photo..I found in Alaska, that one picture is sometimes NOT worth 1,000 words. I was so caught up in trying to get a great picture that I missed that great “feeling”…

    1. Ingrid Avatar

      Oh that’s too bad. Perhaps a repeat to Alaska is in order lol. All these photos were taken when I was by myself and in no hurry to get anywhere. I was able to savor the moment and snap away in the process 🙂
