This photo was taken the day I went to The NC Transportation Museum last Fall. We were headed toward the turntables when I looked over and noticed this area I just loved everything about it.

I just love to walk around the neighborhood with my dog Midnight it’s great exercise for us both and along the way we see the kiddies boarding the school buses, neighbors heading off to work as well people taking their best friends out for a stroll but one of the favorite things we enjoy seeing on our walks are the wildlife over by the gazebo.

We have Canadian Geese that seem to be there year round as well, Swans, Mallards, a few Egrets and let’s not forget Snakes we have not encountered any yet but a few years ago the neighborhood kids along with my son found snake skin they had shed on what we call  “Rock Island” (big boulders in the pond the boys hung out on).  Of course, after that all the boys were banned from “Rock Island”.

Anyway, this Summer we got to see the resident Canadian Geese have their gosling and watch them grow into beautiful Geese below is a photo I took early this Summer. It was so nice to see them all this morning enjoying the weather by the pond. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera to take a photo of all of them there along with the other wildlife. It is amazing to see them all their hanging out together getting along like one big happy family.

I hear tomorrow will be just as nice as today I look forward to another stroll. Until next week stay well and take time to enjoy your view.

I am so excited we are going to see Harry Potter this weekend looking forward to seeing how this one translates on film as this is the darkest of all the books and is the one that sets the scene for the last two.

Anyway, I digress. But I needed to share.

I was thinking of what I would blog about today then it hit me to talk about the photo I took for a photo group I am. We have daily words that we have to depict in the best way possible through photos while being creative and hopefully thinking out the box. Well one day the word was “Fragrant” I wanted to do it a creative and fun way so I came up with the idea to photograph the box of mini perfumes reflected off a mirror the trick for me was not to get the mirror at all and that was a challenge because the mirror I had that was big enough to pull this off was round and covered with bamboo. So I did it in a tilt fashion while aiming at the reflection of the box in the mirror making the reflection sharper than the actual box.

I think it turned out pretty good…Check it out for yourself.

The two color blues in the background is actually the wall in my son’s room I loved the combination and how it matched the perfume box plus  I thought it added that extra interest to the photo.
