Several folks have asked about my header photo and inquired as to how I did it. It was really very simple and I have to give most of the credit to Mother Nature.
This is the original photo. I knew it was going to become a header as soon as I saw it through the viewfinder.I cropped it and flipped it. That's all I did, no computer tricks or changes. The photo is nothing more than a reflection on a small pond. Click on any photo to enlarge.
Nature's beauty and light provide some of the most amazing scenes. With a little patience and editing with our eyes while taking a photo we can capture that beauty.Be sure to visit SkyWatch Friday for more gorgeous skies from around the world. If reflections are you thing stop by and see James at Weekend Reflections.

It's a beautiful photo, and you're clever!
I would never have guessed upside down reflection, great idea. it looks like an expensive oil painting. i thought you photoshopped it. these are all wonderful to behold.
W O W!!! Ok it is official you need to start working on a photography book. Your pictures are National Geography quality...you have an amazing eye for just the purrfect picture. WELL DONE!!!
Happy Weekend,
Madi and Mom

The first one is really stunning : it looks like a watercolor painting... Thanks for inspired sharing.
This is absolutely STUNNING. At first I thought it was an abstract painting ...
You have a great eye for beauty! This is stunning!
These are breathtaking photos, all of them, but my favorite is the last one, the whole picture.
Nice work Judy!
Wow! Gorgeous reflections!

Have a nice weekend****
Well done!
You are a very clever girl!
What a brilliant move! I think only an artist can see such opportunity. :-)
It is beautiful. I thought you had edited it with a paint programme! What a good eye you have :-)
Hi Miss Cindi Lou....I'll be on the look out for a bushy tailed squirrel. I think I would have more in common with him than the
skinny tailed ones that resemble
a 'cat's dinner'! MOL I crack myself up,
Hugs to you and Mom,

I was going to say wow what a gorgeous header and then I see all those absolutely magnificent photos below it. Marvellous, glorious!
Beautiful, creative and a great eye!!! ;)
It is a lovely, magical effect! It looks soft and inviting, like a Monet painting. Thanks for sharing... isn't Mother Nature amazing?
Well, it's completely gorgeous and you have quite an eye!
Hi
grande effetto sull'acqua e soprattutto molto bello il colore giallo-oro delle foglie di questo albero.
Mi piace molto.
Buona domenica :)
Myriam
very cool reflections!
Nice one. It may have been easy. But not everyone would have thought to flip it!
Beautiful!
You did a great Job. Mother nature helped a little bit.
Very good composition with reflections
Amazing!
I would absolutely love the cropped, flipped version in a painting! It is just gorgeous.
