Reflections of Mexico and Spotlighted!

Hi, all!    

I have been Spotlighted on the PhotoTrek journal by Greg Kiser!  It's really an honor ..just take a look at his photos:  The Phototrek Journal and his gallery at: Four Forty Six Photography He made some very nice comments about my trek through 'photojournography'  (my word).  He reflects on his photos like I do but is way more accomplished.  I was thrilled to hear that he thought enough of my photos to do a special on them.   I keep working on improving my techniques not only for posting on the web but also for printing and framing.  Maybe one day I'll graduate past church bazaars...LOL.   Mostly just haven't had the time to make inroads on that.   Greg has a great gallery that I'd like to emulate one day and all this while working full time. 

                              

Here are three photos I took in Mexico all related to reflections and framed in black.  The first one of an egret that caught my eye both above the water and in it's reflection.   He/She (how can I tell?) was standing in water although a bit greenish in color that had little schools of fish just waiting to supper...:)    The second photo is one of a sunset reflection in our little pool on our deck where we stayed.  The colors were so pink and the black  shadows seemed to make the reflection just pop out.    The third photo is one of a pair of sunglasses sitting on a table reflecting the water sparkles in the ocean.  There are many kinds of reflections...these photos all bring back the moment as if I was still there....especially the last one....

 

It sometimes takes me a few days to get the photos ready...I have more and will be posting 2 or 3 of the trip I took to Mexico every few days over the next week or two...stay tuned for more to come.  Hope you enjoyed these!  Seeing the little things may be as easy as catching a reflection...it doubles the beauty of the original view.   Adios, amigos.
