Capture this image when we were in Grand Rapids, Michigan on 2015, 06-25 at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum. Just loved the way the windows reflect the beautiful day we had while there. This statue of this lovely eagle was in the Betty Ford Garden.

Another contender for the current Contest Windows. Please let me know what you think.

Cropped it a bit and brought out more detail in Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and downsized it with iPiccy.com

Well folks lot more shovelling and it took both me and my husband around 4 1/2 hours, but we broke it down into 2 times. So sick of this white stuff.

Happy Valentine's Day, &heart; Skates

Hope to keep commenting after dinner.

Lots of mirrors - if you hadn't said it I would have thought that it is just glass that we are looking through because one cannot see any of the actual objects that are being reflected from your side. Both will be good entries Pat. Hard choice.

Pat, I agree with Raj, that it's a hard choice.
Although the choice is up to you, I like you to know about my opinion: this one has slightly my preference, because in this one the colorful components (by the flowers) in combination with with the off centered sculpture has enhanced the attractiveness of the windows composition.
If this one will be your choice: Good Luck with it, my friend!

This is great for the contest! Wow! I thought the snow would have let up a bit by now. I remember how "skinny" I was when I live up there, not that I am fat now, but climbing up and down stairs every time you had to use the restroom, and chopping and hauling in firewood, shoveling, etc burned a lot of calories!

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

Pat - You used the windows to show the reflections of the nearby trees and gardens very effectively. I like how you composed the image.
