The shape of palm trees make for a wonderful reflection which you have captured in the light of the setting sun in the houses opposite. A lovely collection of reflections.
Have a happy holiday.

Those are some nice houses. The palms at sunset look beautiful reflected in the windows. Your mosaics with the special effects are fun and look great!

Lovely reflections and it is so true how traditions change as we get older, but that can be very enjoyable in it’s own way.
The “silent minks” video made me laugh! What a fun idea that was!
Merry Christmas!
