I fell in love....with reflections.
First came glimpses of tree branches in the rain puddles. I had the wrong lens with me and despite my best efforts, all I got were some blurry pictures of the ground.
Then came the reflection of the fall color trees in the quiet lake waters. Here I was a bit more prepared, had the right lens with but arrived at the wrong time of the day.
The next day, during a walk in the forest I saw the reflections in a gurgling stream. This time I was at the right time with the right lens. On my stomach on the narrow bridge, with the tripod in the shallow water, I started taking pictures.
...and yes, I returned to the lake when the sun showed reflections at their best.
Here are some of my favorite reflection photos. Nature art at its best.

A small stream, just by our cabin. Spent at least an hour photographing the changing reflections
