More Reflections

I like this photo - looks a bit like an abstract painting. I wonder if building designers take into account what is going to be reflected in the building they build while they're designing it. Any commercial architects out there who can answer that?

Patience

When I was in New York I went to a butterfly exhibit at the Natural History Museum (I could spend a week in THAT place). It was really breathtaking having all those butterflies bobbing around the place. There was such a variety from very small ones to one very large one.
These kids were at the last "green space" near the exit. They stood there so patiently with their hands out trying to get a butterfly to land on them. I stood there watching them for quite a while. I was amazed they tried for so long. Finally the grown-up they were with decided it was time to go so they headed for the door to leave the exhibit. They were standing by the door waiting for the docent to open the door so they could go out when a butterfly finally landed on one of the kid's shoulders. They were so excited!

LA Reflections

I like shooting water and reflections. There are a lot of fountains and pools in the city of LA. Some of them even have interesting stuff in or around them reflecting off the surface.
