“Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.” ~ Khalil Gibran
Taken at the Dallas Arboretum. I just love being near water and finding interesting shots of it!

… reading in bed, candles, diving into a new project, learning something new, crisp crunchy leaves underfoot, hearing my daughter laugh, starting a new book, finishing a book, organizing, floating on my back in the pool and staring at the sky, writing, craft supplies, photography, poetry, a good massage, knowing smiles, singing along to the radio, getting things done, comfy bedding, hot chocolate, paying attention to the details, libraries and bookstores, campfires, astronomy, finding beauty in the everyday, impromptu road trips, quiet, journaling, learning about myself, waking up and reading in bed (preferably with coffee), home, interesting flowers, affection, Sleepytime tea, capturing a moment in time with my camera, true laughter, soft rain.

“There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart. Pursue those.” ~ Michael Nolan

These are lovely. There’s something about fallen leaves floating on water, decaying into the earth, preparing the ground for new growth in the spring. I swear I can smell the scent of mulch through the photos. As Martha would say, “It’s a good thing.”

Definitely, Susan. It was barren and yet full of life there.
So cool – love the reflecting ones. Such a myriad of colors and shapes.

Naomi, I especially like the 3rd image … its perspective and the water dripping and the light and shadows … beautiful!

Thank you!!
Pure gorgeousness! Reflections in water hold such fascination for me. Sometimes when I’m actually looking at them (as opposed to through a photo) I wonder if I might get so caught up in the study and the beauty that I’ll fall into the water myself. 😉

Love, love, love the reflections. You captured them so well. One of the weavings I’m working on now is inspired by the reflections in the lake at our local pond.

Beautiful!! Love the abstractions in the reflections here.
Naomi–I’m so happy to see you here, friend. Your photographs catch my heart : )) I’m going to explore more. Oh, and I live in Denton (until May). You make me want to visit the arboretum.

Oh you must, Susan! Maybe in April or May the tulips will be in bloom. I’m hoping to return then. (I live in Houston.) Perhaps we could stroll around there together and then have tea?
Beautiful reflections Naomi. Several could be watercolor painting. Reflecting is a good thing to do every now and again.
Have a lovely weekend.
