REFLECTIONS

On my last day in Australia in 2007, my daughter, her children and I stayed at The Lakes Cairns Resort & Spa. We had a lovely walk in the Botanical Gardens, which was close to the holiday resort. We saw beautiful plants and flowers, but also geese and other water birds.
Sky Watch is hosted by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy & Louise

After Delphinium's comment, I added two links towards a painting of Magritte, because my own photo reminded of me "L'Empire des lumières"
Beautiful shots!
Happy weekend.
Oh I so love botanical gardens. I always visit them here in every city I come. These pictures are beautiful and I love the lake

Beautiful images to look at while my world is covered in icy snow!
That looks like a good place to vacation during the winter. Although I must admit my circadian rhythms get messed up living down here in Florida ... there is a side of me that misses the snow.
tranquility could not even describe the beauty of your lake shots.
for my world, let me share to you my white water rafting experience, please click here.
Beautiful photos. I'd like to have a vacation somewhere similar.
simply beautiful shots...the sky and trees reflected in the water...love them.
