In my photography, there are themes that recur, images that I don't realise I'm chasing ...
Reflections would fall into that category.
Today was a sunny autumn day here in Antwerp. Miss 9 and I wandered off to the zoo. School holidays. And I had to smile as we worked on a miniature photography workshop while exploring the zoo together.
Her joy, as she worked out shutter speed and focus, was lovely. She really got it.
Anyway, she was given a zoo map when she paid for her ticket. Oh my, there were some conversations where I suggested her map-reading skills were dodgy. She laughed and, of course, we ended up at that funky slide over in the playground ...
Not so dodgy it seems, perhaps we were simply on different missions.
Eventually I was able to arrive at the giraffe enclosure. It's one of my favourite places there in the zoo but what I had forgotten was that there is a water course that runs round the edge of their space. I don't know what it is about the water but it reflects exquisitely.
The image that follows ... Antwerp's blue sky reflected with the stripes and paint on the giraffe house. Miss 9 and I could have stayed there all afternoon but for the fact we were cold and getting hungry.
Dank u wel for a lovely day, little Miss 9.
