Sunset Over Puddles/ Sky Watch

Peach reflections in farm puddles

The sunset was rather blah and undramatic...until I noticed the reflections in the farmer's puddly field. I had just enough time to snatch my camera and shoot before the sun disappeared below some drab clouds. Another near miss!

  1. Great reflections. Good reflexes about camera grabbing. LOL.
    I feel naked without my camera in my hand. I think it is glued on.

  27. Peach reflections. That sounds so nice, and I can just imagine the pleasant aroma to go with it. My first thought when I saw the reddish water was something like a scary novel. Brrrr!

  47. Every time I see you pictures I feel like I'm waking up on my childhood farm near Peterborough. It's as though we live in a parallel world. Sometimes I thought that world was barren, boring, and an ugly brown, but when you look at it through someone else's eyes as evidenced by all your comments you see the beauty in it all over again.
