Comment/message from Steve

Angela and I were reflecting (!) on how much we enjoy Ken’s monthly photo challenge, of which there have been 29 so far. 

The great thing is that it AIN’T a competition!

So, just like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates ‘you never know what you’re going to get’.

Reflection - March 2021

I chose this month's topic of "Reflection(s)" before the UK's national day of reflection had been announced for 23rd March.

Here is a thought/quote from Seamus Heaney that Gaynor sent me.  I looked it up and discovered that it was written on a gatepost in Dublin in March 2020.  Oddly enough, it is not a line of his poetry: it is from an interview that he gave in 1972, referring to the Troubles at a time when they were flaring up (again!)

Back to the photos now and to start here are a couple that the group didn't take but appeared somewhere else - the robin one Don found recently and the heron I saw a while back and took a copy of:

 

and now for our photos!

A couple from Alison

John

Sue - "a Covid reflection"

Sue - "Lockdown reflections"

Don - Reflection and recollections over half a century!

Jan - one vain puss cat!

Gaynor - Reflections upon life and death

Ken - taken in the sunshine at Flood Meadows

Meanwhile Steve & Angela had gone across to the Itchen for a walk:

Steve - "Three Worlds"

Steve - Itchen to Get Back in the Pub

Angela - still on the river Itchen

Keith - an Easter reflection

(in the graveyard at Holyrood Church for people to decorate with flowers)

Here are 3 from Kate, taken on the rail network on National Reflection Day:

Kate - Kingsley

As you have seen, my rule about the number of photos seems to have gone out 

the window!  I can live with that - you have freedom to express yourselves!

............... and our next topic is:  "Spaces"
