Reflections of Spring
On Thursday afternoon the weather was so beautiful that I left my desk and went for a walk with my camera. I was looking around for inspiration when I came across a puddle with daffodils next to it so I decided to see what I could do to photograph the flowers a bit differently. The original puddle is in the photograph below. The top image is my favourite. The wind was blowing which caused ripples across the puddle, playing havoc with my focus but converting the image in a great effect which looks like a painting. The photo below the original puddle was much clearer as I managed to focus on the puddle without the wind blowing and, finally, a photo of two of the daffodils which isn’t puddle-related!
If you are on Instagram, then I would love you to join my linky, InstaLinkLove. It is open until Sunday evening at 9.30pm (probably one of the easiest linkys out there!).

A super splash of Spring 🙂 xox
Beautiful photos. Looks like spring has sprung. We haven’t seen any signs yet. xx #MySundayPhoto
Lovely effect (original too!) #MySundayPhoto
Great shots although I couldn’t quite work out what I was looking at at first! Lovely to see all these flashes of colour coming through now.
I love the ripples, it looks liken impressionist painting #MySundayPhoto
The first photo is great even though I like them all.
I love that top one. It’s amazing how many different views you can see from just one set of flowers
Beautiful photos….I love the one with the reflection.
Very cool – works really well. Popping over from #mysundayphoto
Wow that is really cool, I love the reflection on the water, and hoorah for spring x
Love this the reflections look amazing in the puddle and aren’t daffodils just a wonderful sign off spring #mysyndayphoto
I love them all, what a great idea. I’m a big fan of reflections. Glad you were able to enjoy the fresh air.
I love the first photo it looks like an oil painting
Thank you for linking up
These are so beautiful, love to see reflections, but they cannot distort the true beauty of the daffodil x
I have to admit I was intrigued when i saw your first photo, lovely photos of spring, #MySundayPhoto
So pretty. Love the way the change in focus and the wind changed the effect – the first one does look like a painting. I love the clear reflections in the third one.
I love the puddle reflection photos, what a clever way to capture an image.
Wow, those reflections are amazing! I often try to capture reflections in puddles, but they usually turn out a bit rubbish to say the least!
Hi Victoria, the top image is my favorite too, it’s a very clever photo. Even before I read your post I thought it looked like daffodils being buffeted by a visible wind. I don’t blame you for leaving your desk, it looks lie a glorious spring day.

Love what you’ve done here. So creative. Must try and get somem ore reflection shots. I have been trying recently but with little success sadly. #MySundayPhoto
Brilliant puddle reflections Victoria… a great idea and a beautiful effect. Have a great Sunday
Ooh, I love the idea of taking the photo using the puddle. A great creative variation on a common spring-time shot.
The top photo really is very pretty. It’s a bit like looking at a Monet with the fluid kind of effect!
I spent ages trying to work out what was what in the first photo, never thought of a puddle. Great shots #MySundayPhoto
I love your puddle reflections, you think of the most creative photos.
Love the reflections on the puddle! Great shot! My mummy hasn’t really been outside much in March to enjoy the daffodils and the sunshine 🙁 #MySundayPhoto x
