Why is what we see in a mirror, not how others see us ?? Should we even care ?? I love the reflections these birds make, but not always what I see in the mirror……
I was returning from work today and spotted these on a lake in the middle of a housing area… sneaked on in and took some photos… will be posting more of these when time allows…
The Photographic Journey of bulldog. 
WOW!
These are all awesome captures.
Love, love, love the reflections!
Thanks RoSy… this was an awesome experience… and all worked out as though ordered…
These birds are so graceful and so are their reflections. You captured both masterfully, Rob. As for your reflection, there are different adjectives you’ll have to aim for other than “graceful or delicate.” That’s okay. There are still lots of good adjectives out there! 😉
I like the words “cuddly and rounded” thanks for the visit and comment always complementary…. you are so kind…
I speak only the truth and you know it! 🙂
Fabulous images! Love them all :). As for the mirror…Silly boy…giving up the smoking will keep that reflection in your mirror a lot longer…for which we are all most grateful!
Thanks Suzanne… the only problem with the more rounded me is my fitness level has never been so low, but we are working on that… need it to get back to my walks of some distance…. doing some gym work again trying to convert the barrel to a six pack… lol
GO FITNESS TEAM BULLDOG!
I’m actually cutting way back on chocolate and trying to walk daily.
Remember how I told you about my checkup and they found polyps? That was two years ago and now I’ve had another one show up during a colonoscopy. Now I go back in a year.
EVERYBODY…IF YOU’RE THE RIGHT AGE FOR IT…GET A COLONOSCOPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep Chocs are now a no-no and Linda is watching me like the proverbial hawk… I just don’t seem to be able to convince her it’s good for me…. I am dreading the return for the next MRI in a month as it is time to see if the growth they could not reach last time via my back, has grown or not….if it has another op will be needed .. once again collapsing the lung before cutting it off…. only now just getting the lung right and might have to go through it all again…. I could not agree more.. re the colonoscopy… Linda’s colon cancer was discovered from a routine butt shot… and that was 20 years ago… just shows early detection saves lives… I have a butt shot regularly also…
Keep me posted on your MRI…..hopefully no changes,,I know you went through hell the last time 😦
Don’t want you to go through that again!
Say hello to Linda for me!
Ahhh, pretty flamingo 🙂
“On our block the guys call her flamingo
Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the sky
When she moves she walks so fine just like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She’s out of reach and out of sight …….. Pretty Flamingo Manfred Mann ??
YES! 😀 I thought of that song when I saw these pictures. Well picked up, Rob 😀
It’s all very subjective isn’t it. But I love these birds! I’ll look in their mirror and not my own right now thank you lol.
Thanks Laura…. put on some weight since stopping the smoking… food just taste so much better now… not good for my six pack that has become my barrel….
I quit smoking in the mid-90’s and never looked back. It’s such a disgusting habit! Congratulations! I know how hard it is.
Great wildlife and reflection photos Rob…I really like these captures.
Thanks Brian… this type thing does not happen often, normally the water has a breeze blowing over it… so this was an opportunity I took advantage of… even though this was a first op to capture Flamingos… was a good day…
Beautiful!
Thanks
This is happiness! I love it!!
Thank you Dianne
The photos are gorgeous, Bulldog. I’ll leave the reflections and mirrors to these beautiful creatures as well. 🙂
Thanks Imelda… do agree with you on the mirror
wow, glad you did a sneakie with the camera Rob – absolutely gorgeous photos and fab reflections.
Thanks Jan
Fantastiche queste foto carissimo, sono stupende!! Molto belle anche le riflessioni alle quali le hai associate!!
Ciao, un abbraccio. Patrizia
Grazie mille Pat …. bel commento
Fabulous reflections Bulldog. 🙂
Thanks LuAnn
I love these reflections, totally surreal!
Thank you so much…
Perhaps it is because many others see in you your eyes and photos glimpses of your beautiful heart and spirit, my friend.
Russ you’re a star… thank you
Love these photos bulldog! My phone has a reverse photo option for selfies (it’s like looking in a mirror) I can’t get over how different I look when comparing the reverse photo option with the edited photo (vertical switch) Most of us know how we look in the mirror but that really isn’t how others see us!
Diana xo
What insight Diana… what insight, never gave that a thought… thank you friend…. but with a 20lb increase in weight since stopping smoking… I try hard not to look at the reflection in the mirror… lol
OMW You’re funny bulldog!
Wow..these photos are Stunning! Pawkiss 🙂
Thank you so much
I am always so amazed and taken by these creatures…Great photos, thank you for such a wonderful start to Monday morning.
Thanks Charlie… I’m always fascinated by them but never been close enough to capture wit the czmera…. today…. lucky
Now over here the only place that you will see a great site like you caught, is at the zoo, the water is mucking and the birds aren’t as beautiful, I think, as in the wild.
Thanks again, for the time you take to share all the neat things that you see.
God bless
Kymee ;o)
Thanks Kymee…
This is a beautiful post, Rob!
Thanks Anneli
I love these photos! Beautiful in every way. They look so graceful!
Thanks Debra…
beautiful photographs you captured dear Rob, Thank you, love, nia
Thanks Nia….
Lovely pictures…(Suzanne)
Thanks Suzanne
I don’t know about what we see in the mirror, but these bird’s reflections are lovely.
I agree thanks
These are absolutely gorgeous. Love the reflections.
Thanks Maralee
I can so relate. Beautiful captures and look forward to more 🙂
Thanks Ingrid… I don’t want to look in the mirror plcked up weight after the no smoking … now I wonder if its worth it
WOW!,!! Love, the photos are beautiful.
Thanks Love…. you know how long ive looked for these birds
There is nothing more intriguing that water birds on water. Glad you stopped your these. As good as a master magician’s trick
Thanks.. been on my wish list fot a long time
They are so beautiful and cast quite a lovely reflection. I, too, wish I could like mine. 🙂 You are not alone in that. Hope you are doing well, BD.
Thanks Skye tend to not look in the mirror at the mo….. put on a bit of weight since giving up smoking….
Great shots! I don’t think I’ve ever seen white flamingos before.
Their colour is determined by whhat the eat … or so Im led to believe.? Just glad to get some photos after such a long search… thanks.?
That’s what I’ve heard too…ie. pink cause of their diet of shrimp
Amazing reflections.
Why does every one have such calm smooth water in their local area for photography and in mine, there are always ripples – is it because I don’t get up earlier enough in the morning when the day is born and winds are lighter?
Took these at 11am?….. just got lucky with the water I think…. Thanks Vicki
