Nature's Currency

The sun and clouds reflected in this
ornamental pond at my favorite garden
made the lily pads look like bright silver coins.

[Too see more Skywatch, go here. To see more
Weekend Reflections, visit James's meme.]

BTW, I'm off on a little excursion tonight.
Will have my iPad with me and will try to
stay in touch—but have no idea what
kind of Internet connections I'll encounter
(or, more likely, won't).  Either way, I've posted
ahead and will be back stateside on 10/8.

  1. They do look like silver coins. So nice how you used the light.

    I like those purples and blues and the way the photo shifts to high-contrast black and white in the far corner. At first I thought it was moss then I realized the bottom right is reflecting clouds.

    Did you spell that right? It’s not “EyePad”?

  14. Wow, Alexa, that is so pretty ! It is a theme we see often see in the contest, the pond with the water lily, but I just love the light you caught here. The colors are great.

  16. Your amazing shot looks like a beautifully recognisable abstract with it's clever colour change from the expected blue and green to the exotic dark and silver! FAAABULOUS!
