Walking the Dog (Weekend Reflections # 220 Langhorne, Pennsylvania

I guess you could call this an ambush reflection. First I saw the puddle and then I saw the poodle coming down the path so I pretended to take pictures of trees while waiting for the lady and her dog to walk into the reflection.

As you can see it's been cold and snowy here. :-)

Ici, on appelle ça un "caniche royal".
Tu dois être content d'avoir retrouvé la neige! :o)
Belle embuscade, le reflet est spectaculaire!
Passe un bon week-end!

a great reflection (foofy poodle!) :)
 
What a perfect reflection, James!! You do get the very best!! Still can't sign in so I think it's time to retire, can't expect others to do it for me! It has been fun and has given me a new awareness of a different kind of beauty!! Thank you! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Great and Happy New Year!!

Nice bit of 'ambushing' here James, love the snazzy poodle jacket ..twice! oh how I want your snow and rain :)

December 13, 2013 at 11:07 AM 
That is a GREAT reflection James.

December 13, 2013 at 11:11 AM 
Great catch! I love that the reflection takes over...gives us more of a view than the scene itself!

December 13, 2013 at 11:25 AM 
I just linked but now I'm wondering if my photos represent reflections! You'll have to let me know. I'm having a blond moment! heehee! Happy holidays!

December 13, 2013 at 11:35 AM 
My, aren't you sneaky? And may I add: well done!

December 13, 2013 at 11:47 AM 
A lot different reflection than southern California! Nicely done!

December 13, 2013 at 12:07 PM 
Love the Ambush Reflection.

Awesome reflections, a great post!

Your photo is fabulous...Beautiful scenery... worthy of waiting...

Nice one James!!! I love your strategy!!! It seems like Standard Poodles are making a greater appearance these days...I went for years not ever seeing any...and in the last few years, more and more!!!

a poodle in a puddle - well worth waiting for the moment

December 13, 2013 at 1:44 PM 
well worth waiting for - great shot...

December 13, 2013 at 1:46 PM 
Very cool shot - it is so clear!

December 13, 2013 at 1:47 PM Norma Ruttan said...

I'm guessing this was taken in a park? I love the green coat on the dog. The reflection is crystal clear!

December 13, 2013 at 1:54 PM 
Good. I'm not the only one pretending to take a pic of something else then... :-) Magical reflection.

December 13, 2013 at 2:20 PM 
Great shot James - love the B&W effect with just a splash of green.

Admit that I've taken that approach once or twice:) Bytheway, since Thanksgiving, where I live is now free from any legal conundrums, so I can sell ... or stay. But I'm hoping for a roomier house, so I don't have to stack my paintings in the hall & have all my kids and grandkids stay overnight!
 
Wonderful! And a great-looking dog!

December 13, 2013 at 4:01 PM 
Perfect reflection!

December 13, 2013 at 4:24 PM 
Gorgeous reflection and very well dressed doggie!

December 13, 2013 at 4:36 PM 
You are so slick...or should I say "creative"?....:)JP

December 13, 2013 at 5:27 PM 
Quelle élégance, ce chien ? un caniche royal qui en a toute l'allure. Oui, la neige semble être arrivée à certains endroits. Elle a épargné Paris, et c'est aussi bien.
bon week-end,


December 13, 2013 at 5:40 PM 
Well, I could say, shame on you ... but the picture is well worth the ambush. You never know, you may have started a new trend ... Ambush Reflections. Sounds like fun to me :)


December 13, 2013 at 8:14 PM 
Oh, good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who "cheated" this week.

December 13, 2013 at 8:49 PM 
Love the way the roof anchors the subject. The green sweater makes the scene festive. Hurray for your patience

December 13, 2013 at 9:12 PM 
Good timing with this shot.

Excellent !

Who doesn't do an ambush photo now and then? I frequently wait for someone to walk in the frame, in order, at the very least, to create a sense of scale. Poodle and puddle go very well together in my opinion.

December 14, 2013 at 2:47 AM 
Great reflection, even if a poodle.

December 14, 2013 at 3:43 AM 
Wow, this is nice!

December 14, 2013 at 4:55 AM 
A wonderful shot!

December 14, 2013 at 6:01 AM 
The puddle and the poodle that sounds funny and makes a funny photo.

December 14, 2013 at 6:17 AM namaki said...

LOL ! I can imagine you "ambushing" in the cold !!!! This is a nice "capture" !

December 14, 2013 at 6:53 AM 
Wauu … really wonderful reflection.

Fantastic shot ~ happy weekend to you ~ thanks, carol, xxx

December 14, 2013 at 9:44 AM 
You are incredible the way you capture these incredible images, James. What a stunning picture. Greetings, Jo

December 14, 2013 at 12:55 PM 
Oh un caniche Royal ! Avec la manie de la miniature, c'est plutôt rare d'en rencontrer, de nos jours... Et avec son manteau, il est le plus beau pour aller danser !

Chouette reflet, James, bravo !

December 14, 2013 at 12:59 PM 
James, the "egg" you have on your blog. Might I copy it and place it on my blog...my sister is presently undergoing chemo...:)JP

December 14, 2013 at 2:21 PM 
great reflection James!

December 14, 2013 at 7:05 PM 
Your wait paid off. - Margy

December 15, 2013 at 3:11 PM 
You are so good. Cartier Bresson called it the decisive moment. Absolutely, wait for it!

superbe reflet !!

December 16, 2013 at 12:28 PM

Oh my! What a great reflection! It looks very cold and grey where you are!
