Hello Miss Claudia! Thank you ...I'd love to take all the credit for this idea but I can't. I see so many wonderful reflections shots these days...thought I'd give it a go when I saw this in Waterbury. Thank you so much for praising my work!

Hi Sharon! Yes, indeed...I know all about this funny business! I can't tell you how many times I've had an idea and was taking my time working on it...and poof! I see it in a contest by a photographer friend who was working on a similar concept! Happens all the time to me! Disappointing though, I know. Go ahead and post yours...really!! Don't refrain for my account...there's room for both of us! Thank you, Sharon!

THAnk you so very much, Damian!!

Greetings Colette! How kind of you to stop by and comment again!! THat's so very sweet...and I am so grateful!! #114885

Judy...1/2 hour from Waterbury, CT?? I am 1/2 hour from Waterbury!! North or South??? I live 1/2 hour south from Waterbury...a little south of Naugatuck in Bethany. Have you even heard of it??

Hi Dolores, for some reason I thought you lived in New Hampshire. How did I get that idea? I'm in Bantam, 1/2 north of Waterbury. Yes, I know where Bethany is. Small world.
Maybe over the summer we could hook up!I'd love to shoot with "the master"!
Judy #115787

Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

Judy...you're kidding!! We go up there frequently (when the weather is nice)...kayaking the BAntam River (I hate the beaver dams there..we have to cross about 3 of them before reaching Bantam Lake)!! You on 202?? 109?

Isn't that something! #115794

Judith G. Secco May 26, 2019

Too much! Just off of 202. Fourth house on the right. If you're ever in the neighborhood, stop by! I'd love to meet you!
