uncertainty of reality
I will let you decide if the window is framing a view or reflecting one.
(There is not an incorrect answer.)
(Many, many thanks to the delightful Jen Dimock, who was gracious and brave about letting some photographers wander around her orchard. Not a single time did I notice any kind of panic-stricken look on her face or anything.)

Beats me why, but mannequins in windows are something that I really like to photograph. And also, what’s the deal with her thumbs.

sea monster
Y’all! I don’t think those people were paying sufficient attention to the giant clam in the swimming pool! They were just milling around like it was a reflection of the pool-side umbrella or something.

night/terror
No surprise to anyone that’s seen more than, say, four of my photos: I can’t go very long without posting some kind of a reflection. And for some reason, hotel rooms have the best reflections.
So, while the conference I attended may not have been particularly helpful for my real job*, the hotel room views did provide some nice opportunities to make images.

*My real job – grants writer. And I SURE ENOUGH went to a session on using AI to write grants. It felt a little bit (or a lot) like spying on my competition.
an accidental diptych
I meant for this to be just an image of that statue, who looked like she was holding that light over her head (and, also, possibly, holding up the entire ceiling).
But, as the Photography Gods sometimes dictate, that actual thing that needed to be photographed was the way reflection of the other side of the street turned this into a diptych. As a bonus, the way the warm and cool lights play off each other is fun to look at.
