Reflections #Etsy

You`ll be surprised to know that I did another treasury. But this time I got in early and was only the third person to do one for the featured seller.
Having looked in her shop, Amy of Amy`s Moving Castle, I spotted a beautiful photograph, the first one below, and decided to use that one. I loved the reflections, they were so clear and perfect, that I decided to go for that as a title and find more reflections. As you can see below I did just that and am pleased with the wonderful things I found to go with the original picture.
I always find reflections fascinating whether in photographs, art or mirrored. The scenery ones are always so amazing.
Had a busy day yesterday.... yes... I know, that`s shocking. As I had a whole load of ripe tomatoes I decided to make a tomato sauce. I made this for the first time last year at the end of the season to use up the red tomatoes. It was so tasty, I used it in all sorts of cooking, had to be careful not to add to much as it was very spicy. Hence deciding to make it again this year. I took all the ripe tomatoes off the plants and even used my yellow tomatoes as well. It cooked for quite a while and smelt wonderful, think it may be a bit spicy again. Had a real tang on the tomgue, mmmmmm.
Anyway they are all bottled up now and I may make some more if enough tomatoes ripen off. The rest I will use for chutney, green tomato chutney. So much better than letting it go to waste and the added bonus of knowing that it`s homegrown, so no pesticides.
Finally managed to list the two hoods I made, one on Folksy and the other on Etsy, but apart from housework not much else was achieved.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!
Reflections in the sea
just fill me with glee.
A stuning vista with a lake
that you just can`t fake.
Mountains standing tall
or trees in Autumn or Fall.
A child kneeling so intent
leaning forward, back bent
as they see themself, then blow
the water to make it ripple and flow.
A pause then a shout of delight
as the reflection settles into sight.
See someone glance in a window pane
watch them preen or interest wane.
A quick hand to titivate the hair,
or turn away, not wanting to stare.
So many things reflect all around
so much that interests does abound!!
