the word for Saturday 06.03.2010 is REFLECTION

Today's word is Reflection. I did an e-course the other month called Unravelling. On that course, one of the week's photography assignements was about reflections, so l have had a lot of pratice with this word!
I spent today in London, with some of the girls who did this e-course with me. We had an amazing time, talking and eating, talking and talking and then walking, taking images and more walking! We were so busy talking, although l took a lot of images, l was not really thinking about reflections! So l had to put this straight on the way home. I was in an Undergroud Station when l suddenly saw my image. I have to admit l am very pleased with it!
