What a lovely soothing scene, with the light and the reflection.
Also like the iris in your previous post.

Forgot to mention your accompanying haiku,
which sums up the image so well.

That place is just made for dreaming, Mickie. I'm going to file it in my memory and visit it often--to dream, of course!

SKY DITTY

A little birdie told me,
Although I don’t know why,
That if I were to look up,
Way up into the sky,
I’d see some wondrous planets,
The moon and sun and stars –
There before my very eyes
Blazed Jupiter and Mars!
