love the reflection of the tree!
you run? man, i wish i could run…
It did look like rain on saturday. Looks like it will rain again today. Nice shot Yogi. I like the tree reflection also.
jen: Yep I run a little bit. Its like meditating. My method is to start slow and then taper off.
That’s a lovely reflection of the sky. Great photo! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Nice shot…beautiful reflection…
Lovely reflection.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend.
Visit my Sky Watch @ Now and Then
Nicely captured reflection.
Interesting tree reflections in the pool. Looks like a good place to run.
Did you jump the creek? 🙂
Very creative skywatch.
Yogi: What a neat look at sky reflection in the stream, nicely done my friend.
I like the reflection of the sky in water. Nice shot.
Great reflection photo! Happy SWF!
Love the reflected sky and impressed you run.
Its a wonderful way to look at a cloudy day. Great shot for Sky watch!
I’m always a sucker for reflections so I love this. I agree with you on running like meditation – I find it a wonderful way to concentrate the mind. I often get great ideas for classes too.
I also found your post about evolution and genesis very interesting. I can’t understand why some people seem to find it necessary to perpetuate the religion/science split either, also the divide between sciences and humanities subjects in education and academia. Seems so silly to me. Anyway, enough rambling!
I love it when I have to look twice at a picture–great shot!
Sky in the water – lovely!! Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment!
beautiful reflections.
Lovely shot of the sky through the reflection. Thanks for your visit to my blog. Have a nice weekend, Yogi.
Just like a mirror! Beautiful, Yogi!
Me too! But I like their reflection even more. Nice work.
Sometimes looking down is as good as, or better than, looking up.
nice reflection shot…some times the overcast cloudy days make for the best captures.
have a good weekend.
