As Jen H issued this week’s challenge, she said, “This week’s challenge is all about reflections.” Reflections, mirror images, are fun to capture. Whether it is a shiny paint job or placid lake, the reflection seems to double the beauty.
The first was taken a year ago. My mother was a day away from graduating to her heavenly home and was a patient at the area hospice home. A church member’s grandmother was also a patient there and the granddaughter and her husband rode their new Harley Davidson Screaming Eagle Glide (CVO) to the home. As a diversion, I took a few minutes admire their new ride and to get a few shots of the beautiful bike. What made this picture special to me was the reflection of the hospice home in which my mother spent the last two months of her life.
The second image was just taken today. While it was not the most spectacular sunset, the local state park lake was relatively placid, offering a nice mirror image of the opposing bank and the sky.

Love both of those pics…very soothing reminder of time spent in IA with y’all and Mom! Thanks for the fantastic pics!

Thank you, Rene! Yes, the first one caught me by surprise when I processed it. My focus was on the Screaming Eagle when I took the picture. It was only after I was looking at it on the computer screen that the Hospice Home came into focus. Funny what you don’t see until you see it (there’s a spiritual application there, I think). It’s good hearing from you!

I can hear the eagle cry in the trees beyond the lake. Great photos this week.

Thanks, Allan. That is, if fact, the side of the lake in which the Bald Eagles often roost in the winter while scanning for the next meal.

We used to live near a Bald Eagle Sanctuary in Western Colorado. They are magnificent birds.
