Friday My Town Shoot-Out: Reflections

Patty (a retired photojournalist) and Reggie Girl (who raises money for shelter dogs in Georgia) organized the Friday Photo Shoot Out. The idea is to post photos of your local community every Friday. This week's assignment, chosen by Audrey, in Canada, is "Reflections."

All photos taken in Corvallis, Oregon.


Reub, s-l-o-w-l-y mulling over two things: Why isn't she opening the door here? and Why is she taking a picture? I don't see a thing.


Rear windshield, taken in the driveway. Surprise! It's trees, in Oregon, of all places.


Doorway of my favorite downtown Corvallis store. Looks like the dancing logo has escaped her door frame and is caught skipping across the street. Is she hailing a cab? Do we have cabs here?


I'm standing outside the bike shop, and it's confusing. Which ones are for sale and which ones are parked outside?

Another door, this one wide open, so you could look at the mirror. He must have asked the barber to take a little off the sides.


Windows of the post office. No screens here because we have so few bugs (seriously).

  3. I really liked the art gallery shot and I think it is because the art on the wall is still but the bike reflections suggest motion. I like your opening shot. Our dog stands at the door for minutes after you open it to let her in. In the summer it becomes an issue because we do have bugs! Great photo shoot. Have a wonderful week!

  8. I like the bikes reflected in the art gallery window - looks like an art installation itself!

  9. I liked your photos, I went back and looked several times, each time seeing more. I love it when animals look at their reflections, so that is a fav. but I think the girl 'dancing across the street is number one.
