An Awesome View of Life

Reflecting from the outside in. Today was a "me" day.  I got to go to the city to get my hair done.  Finally!  My hair salon is in the Uptown Lake/Lyn area.  After getting my hair all beautiful I took a very short walk up the block to Lake Street. While standing in the corner bus shelter I snapped this photo.  If you look closely you can see all the construction items inside the empty store front as well as reflections of me, the bus shelter and the surrounding buildings, cars, etc. Too fun?

Sue Zee. And Rhonda reflecting. My car's license number is SSZ 214.  Or "Sexy Sue Zee loves Valentine's Day".  And Rhonda would be my daughter's car.  We had a lovely, sunny day today and unfortunately I was stuck inside sewing.  But while I was sewing I saw this reflection and  thought it could be a cool photo.  This photo shows multiple reflections of Rhonda as well as the neighbor's house.  I tried to get as many reflections on my car as I could. I also really like the version below as well. 

Old Reflections. Another photo from my adventure yesterday.  This is inside the ruins that are part of  The Mill City Museum .  The light was perfect.  I love how the original brick wall almost connects at the top with the reflection in the glass of the new wall.

Reflecting. A bit ticked with this photo.  It took me THIRTY shots to get what I wanted and by the time I got what I wanted with the wine glass there was no longer blue skies!  ): Another thing -- I  should have had a plain glass.  No logo.   But what I love and strove to capture was the full reflection of the background in my glass of wine with the real tree, bird feeders and fence in the background.  The reflection of the tree on the table and in the stem of the glass just adds to the layers of reflecting. So overall -- I'm quite pleased with the outcome.

  Love this city...     Today I spent some time in one of my favorite places -- south Minneapolis.  While out looking for the perfect spot to take a picture of the city skyline, I found all kinds of things waiting to have their picture taken.  Twelve really awesome pictures were taken today but this is the one I like best.  It captured the snow perfectly and the very essence of this part of town.  This was taken while sitting at a red light on Lyndale at Lake Street.  As Jonny Lang sings in Red Light:   "A chance to breathe While sitting at a red light You look around reflecting on your life..."
