Happy Wednesday Judy! Great photos: the ducks are nice, the turtles are great, but WOW!! That Japanese Red Maple reflection next to that shade of blue [sky] reflection is just awesome! Oh would i love to have a scarf that looked just like that rippl-ey reflection colors...Gorgeous!
I've taken to wearing a loose scarf, when in the sun, ever since your naked chicken neck photos.

Hope you have a great rest of the week!
