This week's pet photography theme is "Reflection". What comes to your mind when you think of this word?  Several thoughts came to mind for me - reflection in water, reflection in mirror, reflection in glass, hmmm - how hard is this week's theme going to be?  Then I thought of a photograph I took of Jimbo several years ago on our first road trip - we went to Nashville, Tennessee. Yep, took us 2 days to get there and we both had a wonderful time meeting a cousin that I had found doing my family history.  I remember one morning I took Jimbo out for his walk as we walked around the grounds of the Grand Ole Opry.  Eventually, Jimbo decided to lay down and take a break - so here I am hanging on to Jimbo with a six foot leash, a long camera lens and wondering what to do while he enjoys the sunshine.  I aimed the camera at Jimbo, I couldn't get much of him as the lens was to long, but I caught a wonderful closeup of part of his head and his eye - the cool thing?  You can see the reflection in his eye of what he is seeing!  Blue sky, trees - I'd never have thought about this until I looked close.

Here's another one.  In this one you see the sky, trees and me aiming a camera at him.
