My last photo for this week's theme is... drumroll...
another "trees reflected in water"!

Next week's theme will be grey skies (or gray if that's your inclination). Moody.

#WeeklyTheme #Reflections #stunday #EastCoastKin

A conifer forest on the other side of some water, reflecting prettily on the nearly still surface.

It's the time of year when other people go "oooh now I can cozy up with a blanket and a huge cup of tea by the fire", while I go "I went outside for five minutes and now I need a blanket and a huge cup of tea by the fire to get warm 🥶🥶🥶".

It's teatime!

Trees reflected in a pond. Uppsala, Sweden, 2025.

Not one of my best, but I'm running low on reflections in my "ready for bluesky" album and that's the whole point.

#WeeklyTheme #Reflections

Bare trees with branches reaching high against a clear but dusky november afternoon sky. The trees are reflected in a narrow still pond with grass on either side. There's vegetation in the pond, disturbing the mirror effect.

Good morning! My grandmother gave me a four colour Bic when I was about that age. I was thrilled, I had never seen anything like it!

Here's one of my favourite "trees reflected in water" photos from 2025.

From the pedestrian bridge overlooking Farstanäset near Stockholm, Sweden. It's on my favourite route between Farsta and our home. Avoiding the big roads, nice lake views.

#WeeklyTheme #Reflections

A view over a still lake with a treeline on the opposite side, reflecting in the water. The sky is clear, with the slightly pale tint of a chilly day in March.

Thank you!

@np-photos.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 11:26 AM

Thank you! At least it's going to rain during the weekend, which gives me an excuse to stay indoors and sleep 😴

What a week, and it's only Thursday 😣 I've had so many extra things to handle, none of them good. At least the big old birch looks good dressed in Virginia creeper vines. We should probably take it down before it falls on its own, but we're keeping it for the creeper and for the birds.

A big old birch with dozens of Virginia creeper vines climbing up the trunk and covering a lot of the branches and the upper part of the trunk in leaves. Most of them are now red, giving the birch an unusual look since birch leaves turn yellow, not red. 

There are some smaller trees and bushes of various sizes behind the birch, framing it in mostly green since they haven't yet started turning yellow.

Now UPS picked up the "broken" package. So the claim is moving forward. I don't really want to blame the courier, he's probably underpaid with bad working conditions, but at the same time it's partially his fault. I'll see next week if he still has his job, I have another UPS parcel arriving then.

Oh yay, back to trees reflecting in water. Evening shot from one of my favourite spots by the lake. I've posted other (and better) photos of other (and better) sunsets from the same spot before. This one is from 2021.

#WeeklyTheme #Reflections

A late sunset photo of a bay in a lake, with trees on the other side reflecting in the perfectly still water. The sky is dusky blue with a stripe of orange-yellow lingering at the horizon.

The vendor has filed a claim with UPS. I hope they can resolve this. I think there's a chance to get reimbursement, because the package was supposed to be signed but the courier put it in the mailbox. The tracking also says they put it in the mailbox, so I don't even have to try to prove it.

The Virginia creepers remind me of poinsettias right now. They're invading a big chunk of our garden, but this time of year I don't mind.

#ColorADay #RedWed #EastCoastKin #Autumn

Hanging creeper vines with bright red leaves in a green conifer. The leaves are composed of five leaflets originating from a single point, resembling a flower. The colour matches red poinsettias, and the leaflets are similarly arranged, but fewer than the red leaves on poinsettias.

Here's one that isn't "trees reflected in water". Okay, there are a few trees, but the centrepiece is a sculpture that looks like an industrial chimney stack, placed in the river that runs through Nyköping, Sweden. 2017, iPhone SE.

#WeeklyTheme #Reflections

A red brick chimney stack in a river. There are several old industrial buildings to the left of and behind the chimney, and everything is reflected nicely in the fairly still water.

There are some reports that Graze wasn't behaving earlier, so I hope it was something temporary. We'll see if it works tomorrow when I post a new photo. I've added this post manually to the feed.

@np-photos.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 11:17 AM

Annnd why isn't the feed updating with new photos? I'll have to check when I'm at home, Graze isn't exactly mobile friendly.

Another "trees reflected in water" for my #WeeklyTheme which is #Reflections. Many of us probably have a whole bunch of such photos.

At Vänern, Sweden's largest lake. Photo taken from small boat. 2016, iPhone SE

A forested shore and various reeds and water lilies reflected in a mirror still lake. The sky is ominously overcast.

This box was supposed to contain more than just the packaging peanuts. The box looks like it could have been tampered with enough to extract some of the contents. I can't prove anything, but I hope the vendor can do something because the wares weren't cheap. This sucks.

Beautiful!

@np-photos.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 7:19 AM

Gosh it looks wonky. I tried to straighten it up before uploading, but apparently not enough.

BTW I made a photo feed for the Weekly Theme if you want to join. Use the #WeeklyTheme hashtag and my current theme hashtag to appear on the feed. If you use your own theme it won't appear there.
