A BUNCH OF REFLECCTIONS IN MY YARD for the Reflection Hunters Contest ~ Round 96

It was raining the whole morning on the 16th of December 2022, so when I crawled out of the house in the late afternoon, after a day spent in front of the PC screen, I found a couple of small puddles and shiny surfaces with fragments of an inverted world trapped in them. In this post, you'll see a few findings from that reflection hunt in my yard.

Here you can see the leaves and twigs of an olive tree reflected in a small puddle on the makeshift bench in front of my house. The blue of the evening sky works great with the lovely yellow of one of the leaves fallen from that tree. That colorful leaf also gave a nice poetic touch to the scene by accentuating the difference between the two worlds, the real and the reflected one.

This shot is about another tree and another puddle on the same bench. The tree in question is a fig tree that has lost all of its foliage. The barren branches look pretty cool in that temporary mirror, so I selected this photograph for the contest.

Here you can see the partial reflection of the pomegranate tree on the wet tiles of my front terrace.

While searching for more reflections, I noticed another beautiful tree. This one, the Mediterranean hackberry, was reflected in the rear windshield of my car.

You can always find interesting reflections on the surfaces of a car. In this case, my hose and part of the yard & neighborhood can be seen reflected in one of the windows and mixed with the details from the car's interior.

Here you can see part of my neighborhood in a distorted reflection provided by the rear windshield. The degree of distortion varies depending on the angle from which you look and photograph the reflected stuff. Which gives quite a few creative options.

In this case, the combination of the reflected stuff and the real things inside the car creates a confusing, chaotic picture. The post is almost over, I could end it here, but I don't wanna end it with this messy shot.

Here you can see a fairly elegant vertical composition with the bay laurel tree reflected in a small pool of rainwater.

AND THAT'S IT. HAVE A GOOD DAY. OR NIGHT. WHEREVER IN THE WORLD YOU ARE. AS ALWAYS HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.

THE END.
