I love finding reflections of light around the house. I’ve captured some of them in photos. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Thanks for commenting. I found that challenge of finding light so exciting. I haven’t done that before.

Mia,
Snowball is an imp – full of fun and energy and joy. Reminds me every day to seek the blessings. Thanks for the compliments on the photos. It was a gorgeous, if cold, day when I took those – so clear and calm.
Blessings,
Janis
