On Saturday the 20th, Kathy and Tracy joined me on an adventure to downtown Phoenix. We rode the light rail ( a first for me) and had a wonderful time walking around downtown, taking pictures and visiting. You can see the most amazing things and people while strolling along.
I took some reflection shots that I especially liked and I want to share a few of them with you.
I am absolutely not good with building names or any of the history behind them. Kathy is the expert on all those matters. She really is a well-spring of truly interesting facts.
It’s amazing I didn’t trip and fall because I was looking up so much of the time…well, there was this one time that if it hadn’t been a light post that I backed into, I would have fallen flat on my behind.
This one is a favorite and was inspired by a shot that Tracy was taking of a long line of taxis waiting for…heck, I don’t know what.
Look, I’m not nearly as talented as these two with post production tweeking so the best I could do to “disguise” them was to add a sepia tint. So they’ll have to forgive me for breaking that cardinal rule about not posting shots of each other. :)
I always have such fun when we all get together and I do have lots of photos to post from this trip and then another one that Tracy joined me on…but it’s having the time to get the post on the computer. I’ll do better. Things are beginning to level off at work and I’m learning how to use my down time more wisely.
Now, I need to remind both Tracy and Kathy about something we have planned (Kathy’s idea) to do together on the 8th of November. Okay, Girls, don’t forget.

I was telling Tracy that it would be fun if we could get all of the Southwest bloggers in Phoenix some weekend. Love the reflection shot and the taxi shot. Oh by the way. I got an A on the midterm. Now for my final I have to create a 5 page website. We'll see how that goes.
ha so cool...the reflections make the buildings look like works of art....
You got some fantastic reflection shots here. I especially like the one with the taxis!
I do love your reflective shots. really great. I haven't been in a big city--with skyscrapers--for so long I forget what it might be like.
Brian is right the reflections do look like works of art. Pretty nice. MB
Wow, girl, you got some great shots! I love that first one where the reflection looks like tiger skin! And I don't remember seeing those taxis at all! Where was I? That's so funny you mentioned our little project for Nov. 8 because no more than 15 minutes ago, I transferred pictures of our outing from my laptop over to my desktop and I was reminded about this project. Would you believe I had forgotten? I better get it on my calendar right now!
Those are amazing Nancy....I would have never thought of doing shots like that....they're very beautiful. I'm the same way...don't ask me about the history of buildings etc:) If they look cool, then wonderful:) Hope you are having a good week. It takes time to adjust to a job and blogging. I failed this weekend keeping up with everyone. There was too much going on...and I'm getting behind on my writing. Lots of pics....just not enough time in the day! Hugs! Chris
Awesome shots! You did good! I can't wait to see what the project is for the 8th.
Wowza those shots turned out great. (Ahem..with one exception. :-)
Beautiful! The reflection in the first one looks like a building is wearing a tiger costume. :D
Those quirky reflections are really cool!
God bless you!
