What is on the water and at the same time in the water? Poles and their reflection, of course.

A single pole will do.

To me photography must suggest, not insist or explain.

Another quote by Debbie on Travel with Intent. More photos inspired by this saying are found here.

I am Henry the cat I am
Henry the cat I am I am
I moved in with the people next door
They’ve had several cats before
And all of them were pussycats
They woudn’t have a tomcat or a male (no Tom!)
I’m their first tomcat, I’m Henry
Henry the cat I am.
Apologies to Hermann’s Hermits.

There was this pond covered with water lilies, one about to be born like Venus of the watery foam, a nascent life form. Nearby lilac flowers looked like an abundance of writhing snakes pullulating in the bushes. This made me hungry so I went to the famous Viktualienmarkt in Munich with its hundreds of stalls selling victuals of every kind. A car passed by – and I wondered if a nut feels maternal towards bolts, after all in German they are called “Mutter” which means “mother”. And I was back at the pond where a frog pondered reflectively about his eye glancing up at him from the water and he completed the circle quoting “Consider the lilies!” from The Life of Brian.

On reflections (and a searching and whetting) this is my only photo that combines reflection and holidays.
May there be friends and peace for you in the coming days, and may you find time to reflect but also look forward with hope.
More seasonal reflections can be found at Nancy’s A Photo A Week.
