‘Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image if Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed.’ Indra Devi
Some of the best reflections I’ve seen have been over lakes in Canada…
Getting up early is worth it for the spectacular sunrises and quiet reflections…
sometimes spotting a white vapour trail against the clear, blue skies.
A sunny canoe waits patiently at the dock and
the smooth, wooden paddle is ready to dip into the still, cold water.
A lone canoeist lingers and reflects
on miriad memories of his special place…
whilst on an adjoining lake, a turtle reflects
on his special place and ponders, “What’s for lunch?”

Wow! Beautiful reflections!
Thank you. We were lucky to have wonderful weather at the time with lots of calm, sunny mornings. the camera worked overtime.

Beautiful images. I really like the one with the man in the canoe.
Thank you… and that one of the lone canoeist was a favourite with several people.
Coral
All wonderful entries…especially love the canoe and the rich colors.
Thank you. I loved the sunny canoe when I saw it too.
Coral
Such beautiful “reflections.” I especially like the turtle reflection. Well done.
Thanks for your generous comment I am J. I was happy that the turtle and reflection shot came out so well.
Coral
Such beautiful perfect reflections! Like mirrors . . .
Thank you Jean. I was amazed at how many times I saw the water ‘like a mirror’ – it was just beautiful!
Lovely gallery 🙂
Thank you. I love reflections so it took a while to narrow them down to five. I am enjoying following your photographic learning and experiments. Coral
What a lovely problem to have 🙂 Thank you for your visits to my blog, I do appreciate it.
Yes… I’m way better at deleting photos than I used to be… raised the bar on’quality’ and don’t keep as many ‘just in case’ now!
That is a skill I have acquired over the last few years as well 🙂
I love canoeing on a lake, so the canoe shots were meaningful…, though all the photos are beautiful reflections of some of your wonderful moments. Thanks for sharing them.
Thanks Bruce. I’m glad you liked the shots and canoeing on such calm water was special… although often I was along for the ride, and others did the hard work!
Coral
This is simply breathtaking!!
Thank you for your kind words… So many scenes are staggering on and around the lake.
Coral
Gaaaah. Such beautiful shots!! 🙂 I really love the 4th one!
Thank you Milaiski. The 4th on is one of my favourites too. I couldn’t believe how still the water was that morning.

Beautiful image, could look at it all day.
I’d be interested to know which of the five images appeals…
Coral
Sounds like a trick question to me………I`ll say all of them
No. Not a trick question…. just wondering if one image appealed more. Thanks.
Coral
Actually it was the one of the clouds reflected on the lake with the boat going buy, very nice.
Okay, thanks…
Coral
Image number 4 for me…
