Reflected Glory


The sidewalks in the park were still wet and the sun still bright 
when a patch of gold light shown from a shallow puddle, 
spreading its warmth onto the walk like an aura. 
I looked around and found the tree whose reflection it was, 
basking proudly in the sun.

  1. I love the way you've messed with the focus on the top photo, Speedway. It looks like a rift in the sidewalk, leading to another reality.

  2. Hi, Dive. It does look "otherworldly," doesn't it? The reflection just seemed to shine from below the sidewalk, an asphalt pathway in the park. All I recall is trying, as much as possible, to get it IN focus, which it would not do. I liked the "aura" around the schism, created by the tree's reflection on the still-wet walkway.

    Hi, Lin. The daggone puddle just seemed to glow from within. almost as though you could step into it. Eerie, but beautiful.
