Reflections Puddles and Rainbows #SkywatchFriday

August is drawing to a close, and is reminding us that fall will be with us before we know it.

So it's time to gather some memories of August.

Earlier this month, spouse and I went to a car show in Bennington, Vermont.  When I got back home and looked at my photos, I discovered I had picked up some reflections of the sky.  So, for your enjoyment, here are some of them.

I was meaning to take a picture of this hood ornament but the reflections are a bonus.

This sky reflection is like abstract art, I think.
Perfect for Bennington, which is located in the green state, this reflection shows off what may be the Green Mountains (more probably, though, it is the Taconic Mountains) on the side of the vehicle.

Let's fast forward a little, to last Saturday.  We were on our way to a local garlic fest, and stopped for a light.  This is a historic firehouse that housed a restaurant for many years.  The restaurant is no longer there, and the building is vacant (for now).  I caught a reflection of the sky in its windows.

So, today I have some good news.  We have been getting rain on and off in the past week or so.

 


And we have puddles again.  My spouse has been practicing taking pictures with his recently purchased iPhone SE 3rd edition. It's hard to see, but some of the blue patch of the sky is being reflected on the path.

My spouse also took this picture of an after sunset glow after a rain.  I was occupied and unable to get out there.  I think he did a nice job.

Finally, this is a rainbow he captured a little earlier on the same evening.
