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.
Spectacular!! You’ve done it again! 🙂
Thank you, thank you very much! (think Elvis)
Oh, what gorgeous shots! Loved all of them..
Thank you, I really appreciate the compliment!
I also went and checked out the New England page.. that really blew me away! Those Loon photos in particular!
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
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,https://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. 🙂
Shall I call an ambulance? 🙂
Thank you so very much!
Nahhh I am fine 😛 and you are welcome 😉
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?
Which one is your favourite in this series? Is it the sailing boat one? I have a thing for bridges too 😀
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.
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!
Oh I don’t know about that. I see a lot of talent in these challenges, but thank you!
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!
Thanks, but I can’t take any of the credit. I’m just a messenger passing along another’s idea.
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!
Thanks! I’m just glad someone posted a challenge, I was having withdrawals 🙂
Lovely!
I’m glad you like them, thank you!
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.
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!
Jeff, I appreciate that more than you know.
I meant every word!
wow, that Masts in the MIst is gorgeous and inspiring! love it. and love your signature! thank you also for dropping by!
You are very welcome! My signature is the only thing about my handwriting that I like, the rest, sometimes even I cant read it 😀
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 😉
Not sure I have a plane, but the rest, you’ll just have to wait and see won’t you 😉
All of them are beautiful but the second one is just GORGEOUS – wonderful colours!
Thanks Lucy, coming from you I consider that very high praise!
these are all great – my fave is ‘masts in the mist’. so cool
thanks for sharing.
Thank you, that one does seem to be a favorite of quite a few people. I’m glad you like it as well.
all stunning, but liked the second best because of the colors
Thank you! If I were pushed to choose, that one would be my favorite of the bunch as well.
Great series, Jeff and like the variety in the reflections you showcased.
Thanks Brandon
Beautiful photos there, love the boathouse.
Thank you! It is one of my favorite places.
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
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/
You are a rebel. Count me in! Sometime this weekend I should have something to add 😉
Love the boats in the mist, Jeff! Great shots!
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. 😀
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!
Looking forward to it!
