Humble reeds
Have you noticed the way water reflects the sky
As blue silk
Or how the sky lends even unnoticed reeds
A golden glory that is all their own?
One of the miracles of nature is the fact that even
The humblest of places are filled with beauty.
Just as in life.
For more humble beauty, please visit: Skywatch.
Just beautiful!!! But water does that to so many things. A magic elixir. Thank you.

Beauuuuutiful!
My camera is being repaired :-S
May 5, 2011 at 11:39
Oh – hope you won’t be without your camera for too long!
May 5, 2011 at 11:40
I love your beautiful photographs – and I agree about the humblest places being full of beauty.
May 5, 2011 at 11:53
The don’t look humble at all – what a beautiful reflection. And a reminder to us all to look beyond the obvious. Again you have wowed me with your wonderful eye. Though that pier looks naked without Oscar

LadyFi: Neat looks at the lake before it comes bake to life. That dock looks like it will need some work.
May 5, 2011 at 13:49
ah what a lovely post…how they reflect the beauty in each other…perhaps there is something for us to learn there…

It is with stillness of soulness and the watchful eye that we see beauty. So many rush on by and miss it. A camera by the side means the eye is ever watchful for the moment that is waiting the captured moment. You always have the touch no matter the time of day or the place!

Beautiful shots. Love the colors and the textures.
May 5, 2011 at 15:00
I never noticed water reflections until I stated photography. Now I can spot them from a mile away. Your third photo is my favorite. I like the overall composition best, and how the dock leads you into the photo.
May 5, 2011 at 15:02
You certainly have an eye for seeing the beauty that we mere mortals walk past every day without noticing. Thanks for capturing it!

The water lends its magic to the reeds, but so does your camera. These photos are absolutely gorgeous.
May 5, 2011 at 15:39
Ahem….you’re like some photographic STAR
)) Amazing….

Who would have guessed I would enjoy taking photos so much, eh?
May 5, 2011 at 16:06
You are able to see this beauty for you look with your heart, LadyFi
May 5, 2011 at 16:14
I love how you always find the right words to reflect on the pictures.
Hope the snow melted quickly!
May 5, 2011 at 16:19
gorgeous, i love your water surface images and your words share the beauty perfectly.
May 5, 2011 at 16:47
So lovely to see the different “moods” the light creates in your pictures!
May 5, 2011 at 17:25
wow… what a beautiful post with such pensive questions. lovely.
May 5, 2011 at 18:00
Wonderful shots, beautiful reflections… Im becoming a fan or your photography style.
May 5, 2011 at 18:10
Fabulous, fabulous,now how can I choose which is the most beautiful.??
May 5, 2011 at 18:12
I’m glad you didn’t ask us to choose the most beautiful of the 3 photographs! That would have been a tough choice…
May 5, 2011 at 18:27
Love ‘playing’ with reflections! You have it down to an art form. Nice.
May 5, 2011 at 18:51
That is so true! And again, your reflection photos are amazing!
May 5, 2011 at 18:58
You have such eyes for details!!! Stunningly beautiful!
May 5, 2011 at 19:02
These are all wonderful shots. I love reeds and the way you caught them in the water and sky is fantastic.
May 5, 2011 at 19:06
I always depend on you to find the humble beauty and then share it, Fi. I see the lake is free of ice now. Has winter lost its grip on you?
May 5, 2011 at 19:50
So incredibly beautiful. It’s breathtaking- and so very true about the humble……
May 5, 2011 at 20:34
These humble reeds look so glorious in your photos!
May 5, 2011 at 20:52
Humble is a word to marvel at. Just so your photos.

May 6, 2011 at 02:36
I think water is kind rather than indifferent. Your images speak to that kindness.

Photos of reflections literally add another dimension to them, and I think they make photos more interesting. – Dave
May 6, 2011 at 07:12
These are fantastic.
May 6, 2011 at 07:22
Such beuatiful sentiments that resonates so within me. To me the simple is beuatiful, as beauty is so many things in my eyes.
You captured the essence of simple beauty so well with both words and images.
On another note, wanted to mention to you how accurate you were in your perception about me and Phoenix.;) A few weeks back I wrote a piece about it and will post it on Monday.
Have a lovely weekend dear F,
