Delightful & deceptive (in the thumbnail).
Very nice!

Superb composition Helen. I like everything about it from the beauty of the blossoms to the symmetry of the windows. Perfectly done. Dale

The abstractness of the reflection in the windows is beautiful. MCsaba

Just gorgeous, Helen! Almost an abstract. I love the colorful geometric background, too.

Very cool shot Helen, well seen and captured. Love that blue sky background!

Thanks, everyone, for the comments! Justin, that's just glass, no water anywhere nearby. Can't explain why it looks that way, maybe just the type of glass?

Lovely peaceful scene with wonderful color. A bit of optical illusion too - the reflections in the lower glass appear rippled which makes me wonder if water is involved.

Very pretty capture - I love the pink blossoms against the blue sky! I'm jealous - we don't have anything blooming here, we still have snow.

Helen, this is breathtaking. I think that Mike would have been so pleased. :-)
