Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections
The Challenge That Wasn’t.
Since it seems there is no “official” weekly challenge forthcoming from the powers that be at WP, Ailsa over at Where’s My Backpack? decided to throw down the gauntlet and present us with one. http://wheresmybackpack.wordpress.com/2012/05/12/reflections/
Reflections.
Here are a few of mine.
Pink Fragrant Water Lily.
Boathouse, Chocorua Lake.
Masts In The Mist
Memorial Remembered.
(The Memorial Bridge, connecting Portsmouth, NH and Kittery, ME has recently been torn down and is slated for replacement).
These are all wondrful – colors in the color hsots and peacefulness in the one with the boats!

Thank you very much! The fog the day I shot the sailboats was quite soothing.
May 13, 2012 at 7:36 pm
Spectacular!! You’ve done it again!
May 13, 2012 at 8:36 pm
Thank you, thank you very much! (think Elvis)
May 13, 2012 at 8:38 pm
Oh, what gorgeous shots! Loved all of them..
May 13, 2012 at 9:47 pm
Thank you, I really appreciate the compliment!
May 13, 2012 at 10:18 pm
I also went and checked out the New England page.. that really blew me away! Those Loon photos in particular!
May 13, 2012 at 10:32 pm
The lily is great! It took me a few seconds to realise that half of it is a reflection! It’s lovely. I also love the misty boats and their masts – it’s so simple and still.

Thank you very much Jude. I love the hot pink ones, most of the ponds around me have plenty of white ones, but this one place has at least as many pink. It’s a popular place with the fishermen, and I think they think I’m nuts. I’m usually in the water, and in this case up to me waste, when I’m photographing them.

Gorgeous, Jeff, all of them! Water lilies are so elegant, aren’t they? The Chorua Lakecolours are stunning and the misty masts are just divine. I love fog. Thanks for joining in the challenge! xxx

Thank you, Ailsa, for the very nice comment, and for stepping up to the plate with a challenge!

Beautiful shots – I love the Boathouse one, really lovely colours
May 14, 2012 at 4:41 am
Thank you Lauren! It is one of my favorite spots when I head north with my camera. It has been very good to me photographically speaking. The first two shots in my entry for the “Through” challenge,http://jeffsinonphotography.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/weekly-photo-challenge-through/ as well as the boathouse, were all taken from the same bridge in the fall. You gotta love a place like that, especially in the fall.

That lily reflection literally took my breath away.
May 14, 2012 at 5:25 am
Shall I call an ambulance?
Thank you so very much!
May 14, 2012 at 6:14 am
Nahhh I am fine
and you are welcome 
May 14, 2012 at 6:16 am
That’s good to hear. My photographs are meant to create feelings of joy, wonder, and sometimes awe(being too close to bears;-) ), not cause a medical emergency. Can’t have my audience dropping dead now can I?
May 14, 2012 at 6:24 am
Which one is your favourite in this series? Is it the sailing boat one? I have a thing for bridges too
May 14, 2012 at 1:04 pm
That’s a tough call Paula. Obviously I like them all
If I had to pick one it would have to be the boathouse. But the bridge is right up there if only because I can never take that photograph again. That bridge has been taken down and is being replaced.
May 14, 2012 at 7:09 pm
Stunners, Jeff. Geez. The rest of us need to just go home now. lol. You clearly won…you are the master!!
Well done. They are beautiful, as always!
May 14, 2012 at 9:06 am
Oh I don’t know about that. I see a lot of talent in these challenges, but thank you!
May 14, 2012 at 7:01 pm
Thanks for taking the initiative, Jeff. I have been patiently waiting for the next theme and I am glad to finally have one. Nice photos!
May 14, 2012 at 9:12 am
Thanks, but I can’t take any of the credit. I’m just a messenger passing along another’s idea.
May 14, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Thanks, I just realized this. I appreciate the clarification. Have a nice day!

Beautiful Jeff! Love the masts in the mists! They are so ghostly and ethereal!
May 14, 2012 at 10:06 am
Thanks! I’m just glad someone posted a challenge, I was having withdrawals
May 14, 2012 at 7:05 pm
Lovely!
May 14, 2012 at 1:16 pm
I’m glad you like them, thank you!
May 14, 2012 at 7:09 pm
Wow, Jeff! These are so beautiful!
I look forward to learning from you.
Thank you for sharing your talent with those of us who are embarking on this journey of photography.
May 14, 2012 at 8:05 pm
Thank you Joy.
As I have told others, never hesitate to ask me a question. I have been fortunate to receive help from several extremely talents photographers as I was learning my craft, I feel it is my duty to return the favor. I find it humbling and a more than a little surprising that someone would actually ask for my help.
I don’t claim to know everything, and I’m always learning, but what I do know I will share freely. My door is always open!
May 14, 2012 at 8:17 pm
Jeff, I appreciate that more than you know.
May 15, 2012 at 5:50 am
I meant every word!
May 15, 2012 at 5:57 am
wow, that Masts in the MIst is gorgeous and inspiring! love it. and love your signature! thank you also for dropping by!
May 15, 2012 at 8:30 am
You are very welcome! My signature is the only thing about my handwriting that I like, the rest, sometimes even I cant read it
May 15, 2012 at 7:42 pm
It would be fun to see New England in blue, or even a car or an airplane
What do you say? I will be posting more Alpine shots in blue 
May 15, 2012 at 1:13 pm
Not sure I have a plane, but the rest, you’ll just have to wait and see won’t you
May 15, 2012 at 7:50 pm
All of them are beautiful but the second one is just GORGEOUS – wonderful colours!
May 15, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Thanks Lucy, coming from you I consider that very high praise!
May 15, 2012 at 7:51 pm
these are all great – my fave is ‘masts in the mist’. so cool
thanks for sharing.
May 15, 2012 at 8:50 pm
Thank you, that one does seem to be a favorite of quite a few people. I’m glad you like it as well.
May 15, 2012 at 9:02 pm
all stunning, but liked the second best because of the colors
May 15, 2012 at 10:28 pm
Thank you! If I were pushed to choose, that one would be my favorite of the bunch as well.
May 16, 2012 at 9:15 pm
Great series, Jeff and like the variety in the reflections you showcased.
May 15, 2012 at 11:09 pm
Thanks Brandon
May 16, 2012 at 9:15 pm
Beautiful photos there, love the boathouse.
May 16, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Thank you! It is one of my favorite places.
May 16, 2012 at 9:06 pm
I’ve always wanted to see a water lily in person. It’s on my buscket list. I had no clue they were fragrant. This one looks like it is flaoting with invisible wings.
Love that one ….. and … the others too – just a little partial to that one. ~~~~ : – )
Isadora
May 17, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Thank you Isadora, I have to be honest, I have no idea how fragrant they really are. But that is what they are called. Considering what I’m willing to go through to photograph them you would think I’d at least take a sniff.
If you are ever in New Hampshire in the summer I will show you all the water lilies you could ever want.

Hi SJTR, rebel that I am, I just put up another photo challenge and would love you to join in! Pass it on, everyone’s welcome. xxx Ailsa http://wheresmybackpack.com/2012/05/18/summer/
May 18, 2012 at 8:05 pm
You are a rebel. Count me in! Sometime this weekend I should have something to add
May 18, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Love the boats in the mist, Jeff! Great shots!
June 2, 2012 at 6:58 pm
Thank you! You must be pretty busy lately, haven’t seen a new post in a while. I hope you’re still getting some camera time in.
June 2, 2012 at 7:49 pm
I am insanely busy. I haven’t had time to go shooting in a while, but hopefully I’ll find time soon to update the blog and let everyone know what I’ve been up to. Read you soon!
June 2, 2012 at 7:54 pm
Looking forward to it!
