For those that don't know this week has been pure reflections. One camera, one woman, no alterations. Images captured as see all refelctions. I have just stopped by to upload this, but then I will be off again. Many thanks to all for the Birthday congratulations. In brief this is Mooragh Park overlooking the lake conveiniently named Mooragh too. You can see Snaefell mountain in the background surrounded by peachy sunglow. The sky reflected in the lake has a slight jade tinge meeting the peach tinged sun. As you can see my the week's worth of reflections, we have had some interesting results. Again I have left the pebbles in the image and not removed to leave a smooth surface.
This was an experiment this week to show you what can be achieved with just a camera, and no digital alterations.
Had a great day thanks. Gary is just offered another Illustration commission and it's a biggy. Only sad news is one of the artist's, a UK musician, who was big influence on Gary called John Martyn(click here) died today. He was a close friend of someone who was a great influence on me Nick Drake. Hence the Jaded. So may we never raise our glasses for better reasons than birthdays and passings into solid air under a saturday sun. It makes sense if you know the music.
Gone for a Bailey's or several.
Jaded day or not, it's a beautiful photo. My sympathies on the death of your friend.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy birthday, Babooshka. May you get just the right number of Bailey's under your belt. :)
Not a friend Pat, a UK musician that was a cult figure.
ReplyDeleteThe Bailey's will work out fine.
I love your "jaded" shot! Yellow and blue, it's only logical. Really terrific! I love reflection shots!
ReplyDeleteYet another beautiful reflection photo.
ReplyDeleteHope your birthday was a happy one.
Great sentiments B, pretty colours.
ReplyDeleteVery nice reflection.
ReplyDeleteLovely and soft colors. :)
Beautiful.
I just cant be jaded with any of your shots. BTW, birthday greetings are sent your way.
ReplyDeleteI like it. The color, especially, but leaving it not smooth also gives it interest.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is remarkable and very exquisite.Have a great SWF tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteFantastic reflections, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Happy Birthday to begin with and your photo is breathtaking! Almost looks more like a painting but it is exquisite. Thanks for sharing and have a great day/night!
ReplyDeleteThis is just from another world! Amazingly beautiful picture! Now I can go to bed and sleep in peace. Thank you for this little wonder of a place to visit!
ReplyDeleteGreat series of reflections. Not so much here as it's all frozen!
ReplyDeleteAnother great shot. The jade tones on the water are stunning.
ReplyDeleteLB
ReplyDeleteThis has been the best week. I would like your sport photos again though.
Many happy returns to you.Enjoy yourself tonight.
ReplyDeleteThanks too for stopping by.
This jade colour is lovely and has a very good reflective quality. Great picture.Thank you.
If you visit In the Pink you will find a soul mate also in morning for John Martin, with some of his music to share.
The green is gorgeous, just absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSunning reflection!!
ReplyDeleteNick Drake? I never had you bagged for him. I understand why the images are so mellow now.
ReplyDeleteThe intense lurker thinks he's wasting his time with colour correction!
ReplyDeleteBut then, we rarely get a green sky reflection.... ;-)
Cheers,

How could I have missed the Birthday Girl yesterday? All the best to you, Babooshka! Have a grand extended celebration!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for all the great reflection pointers and images this week.
The photo says it all... Thanks for sharing for the visit. Happy Skywatching!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are gorgeous. What a stunning photo.
ReplyDeleteSimply the most beautiful colors in this quiet reflection! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI love your out of the camera images. Just lovely. The sun over the distant hills seems not quite ready to go.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, and congratulations to Gary on the commission.
You've posted some lovely shots this week. I've enjoyed browsing through them. Have a happy weekend!

beautiful reflection photo, happy belated birthday, anna :)
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy Birthday and I am sorry about your friend..I didn't know how to change photos when I first got my camera and I will have to go back and look at what I took. Maybe it was a more honest me....
ReplyDeleteMichelle...
The jade is a special something out of the ordinary for sky shots. Good work.
ReplyDeleteLovely skywatch, and happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your friend, but stupidly happy to hear about Gary's new gig. Hope it works out for you both.
ReplyDeleteAnd "jaded" applies here in the coloring too. Love the green-tinted look. And I still love the rocks poking their heads up through the surface.
Once again, I enjoyed scrolling down and looking at the pics here. I love the reflection on the water. It gives me a peaceful feeling.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my SkyWatch pics.
Happy Birthday,
Sue
The color is just amazing! WoW!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful reflection on the water.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the passing of John Martyn :(
Lovely photo. And happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, sad event. Thanks for sharing your reflections.
ReplyDeleteWonderful serene reflection.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing first: A belated (only one day late ^_^) HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, B! And here's a toast to a lot many, many more birthdays to come!
ReplyDeleteAnd a gorgeously jaded reflective photo for a reflective day after? Perfect in every way!

Hi Babs, I peeked at the whole week's worth and only in this one did I recognize an item. And this one it the prettiest.
ReplyDeleteI would not have recognized this except that you pointed its reflection out.
I have been up on your Snaefell Mountain, it was a nice rail trip. I suppose you take that several times a year. I would if I lived there.

Gorgeous jades- You captured nature's monochromatic colors beautifully! I'm "soaking" up those lovely reflections.
ReplyDelete(I also do not alter digitally. Nature gives us plenty of color to work with.)
That is a wonderful colour, it adds some mystery to the photo.
ReplyDeleteHappy SWF.
un reflet tout en or, magique.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful photo for SWF. Love the reflection of the sky in the water. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour jaded image is serene and wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteIt's a different way to look at the sky!
ReplyDeleteYou communicate universally, in image as well as in word. Your reflection series of photos and the text that accompanies them is solid proof.
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy birthday from Mama and me. Have fun at the Quiz on Friday, whatever sort it may be!
We're proud for Gary's good fortune, too.
Moody Blues, well, greens. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI ditto the happy wish for your birthday AND Pat's wishes of consumption of the right no's of Bailey's.
This photo's atmosphere is echoed here in Belgrade...winter reflections captivate me.
ReplyDeleteDrop in and have a look at my alien landscape....
Happy Birthday! Thanks for the link, that site looks great!
ReplyDeleteFantastic photo I really like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and comment on my blog
Have a nice day
Gunilla in Sweden
Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful and peaceful stillness.
I will join you in raising a glass to John Martyn. May his memory live on.
sombrely cool...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, always fun to visit your blog space and see what new version of the sky you have found to share with us all.
ReplyDeleteI'll reflect on that...
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeus pic - sky in water!
ReplyDeleteWow what a shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! The reflection is beautiful - the colour absolutely amazing
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your beautiful photo with us. Let us remember to take care of our world so that generations to come may see sights like this:)

ReplyDeleteThat`s an amazing photo,love the reflections!
ReplyDeleteVery reflective photo, in more ways that the usual. It's very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd best wishes on your birthday. Sorry to read about your friend.
Thanks, babooshka. This is a stunning shot. A 'green-flash' moment captured eloquently.
ReplyDeleteOooo...I love this with the green! (my favorite color) Wonderful shot and colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is spectacular, and I would be saying that even if water reflections and light were not just about my favorite nature subject!
ReplyDeleteSo, you continue with a lot of nice reflections of all kinds! Good!
ReplyDelete(Sorry if Im' late with the birthday congratulations... I'm a bit of a "every second day" blogger!)
That's so beautiful ! It could be an aquarel painting !
ReplyDeleteBabooshka, It was a shame on me that my come back became late for a day! It should have came together with you birthday so Happy Happy Birthday to you! May you and your Family be truly showered with so much blessings that you can ever imagine!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo as usual! And I hope you can see my come back post! God Bless!
Steven^^
Great photo with interesting, if not eerie, color tones. Nice capture.
ReplyDeleteSatruday Sun on a Friday. I like that idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is another beautiful picture. Thanks for showing us this week what a great job a photographer can do. It really is the person -- not a fancy camera or expensive software.
ReplyDeleteTerrific pictures, just lovely.
ReplyDeletea belated Happy Birthday to you....great photo

This is a very special picture with these mysterious colours.
ReplyDeleteLovely choice for today's SWF!
Have a good weekend.
Fantastic colour and a grand shot
ReplyDeleteThat is an absolutely lovely photo...as your photos are. And Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday B. This is grand.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, My Friend. My very best wishes for you always...
ReplyDeletehappy birthday.
ReplyDeletea lovely shot...love the reflection and the colors in the shot.

What unusual coloring and so tranquil with the soft reflections. Thanks for visiting my SWF.
ReplyDeleteHey Babooshka, beautiful picture.
ReplyDeleteJust stopped by to say we too are feeling the loss of John Martyn....what can I say.
We are having our second John Martyn session tonight listening to everything we have got and raising a glass.
I met so many sad folk today who's lives his music has accompanied. Listening to him now brings mixed emotions but time is a healer and his music and talent will endure.
It was actually the lemon shades that I noticed first. Love the tree reflections.
ReplyDeleteIt is very sad news about John Martyn :( This photo is a lovely tribute. Hope your head isn't hurting too much.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a Jade Sky even by reflection. It's unique.
ReplyDeleteJoyeux (belated) Birthday, Babooshka. Champagne seems better than Bailey
Belated Happy Birthday Babooshka. Your name reminds me a words in Russian.
ReplyDeleteGreat awakening refection of a birthday woman.
Stunningly different shot. I agree with not removing the pebbles. Nature is perfect as it is without graphic alterations. You name, Babooshka, reminds me so much of my Grandmom, a lovely Hungarian lady who loved to cook & did not leave the house in chilly weather with out her babooshka.
ReplyDeleteWonderful image as always. Hope you've had heaps of fun on you BD. Looking forward to Gary's new work.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful picture. I love the subtle colours. Happy birthday! Mine is today (30th) Perhaps we were born on the same day but in different time zones that altered the date.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I didn't even notice the pebbles as my eyes were drawn to the remote mountain line and the lovely colour of the 'picture' in the water. But the pebbles do give the picture perspective so a good choice.
ReplyDeleteAs there is no Saturday post I guess last night was a good one! Great photo :)
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful reflection. I really do like the colors. Hope you had a great birthday and are still celebrating.
ReplyDelete:-)
Another great reflection shot!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
great reflected sky watch, was it taken at dusk? Happy shooting!
ReplyDeleteLove the jade!
ReplyDeletebeautiful reflection in the water - obviously shot during 'the golden hour'
