Dimitri

This is for the mirror challenge. And it is for me. So again this afternoon I am toting a mirror around the back yard finding sun and shade. Dimitri, the Garden Goyle, is resting on the garage window in the shade - Master of all he surveys, and the bits of rose bush are sunning themselves.

The mirror that I used today is from my Mother's old dresser set - so at least 80 years old or so - probably more. I also have the box with a cut glass top and an old atomizer that has seen better days that match. I am still scrounging around for a larger mirror but the plants that will visit year after year were calling my name more loudly.
love it

Excellent, Cathy! You captured all the elements and I love your reflection! Great job!

Great job, Cathy.

I really like this one - the frame of the mirror fades into the background and your eye is drawn immediately to the reflection.

@saifon Thank you.
@linzi76 Thanks Lynsey.
@marlboromaam Perseverance. The mirror is still too small but I'll have to find one down the road that I like. At least I can play the game.
. @yonnie Thanks Yvonne.
@ladyjane Thank you Jane. That was my hope.
@buttercup Mary - I have so many things. I moved back to the house they bought the year I was born to care for her. So lots of generational stuff laying around.
@grannysue Thank you Linda.
@lyno Thanks Lyn. You have a goyle?
@jenniferruge THanks Jennifer. I'm trying.

@cdonohoue This shot is super, Cathy! I don't think you need a bigger mirror. Looks like you figured it out. =)

@rain0381 Thanks Lhen.
@shepardx2 Thanks Margo. I appreciate your comments.
@pawar_ramesh Thank you Ramesh.
@filsie65 Phil - I think he does fly the yard at night. He is one of my favorite creature finds. He used to be mounted over a fireplace but that didn't work here so the garden is a better fit.
@gwenllian I thank you and Dimitri thanks you.
@redrucksack Thank you Eva.
@nikkic Thanks Nikki
