I believe I have to explain about the second photo. These willow trees are next to a river.When there is flood tide the water in the river comes up and reaches the trees. When ebb-tide comes the water draws back and what stays is this little stream.
For more Weekend Reflections go here. There is a list of all the participants.

The swans are lovely. I'm intrigued by your second photo. I really like it.
Great photos. I especially like the swans.
Beautiful swans in the first shot.
Elegant.
Very nice reflection in the second picture.
Happy weekend! :)
Je Weekend Reflections foto's zijn weer PRACHTIG Riet, beide foto's zijn super mooi. En bij de bomen foto krijg ik meteen weer een fantasie verhaal in mijn hoofd.
fijne avond,
groetejs Josephine
Hi Riet...
I so love the swans, as they are so graceful and so free. The elegance reflected in the water as the dance by. I love them, I could watch them all day for sure. You are so fortunate to be able to have a lake that they live in. What a treasure.
Now I am not sure what the second picture is trees? Is this a form of irrigation where the water has receded? Trees planted up on a hill area, so the water is held? I am not sure sweetie. But I love the cold, sleeping reflection in the water. So beautiful.
You have a photographic eye for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Please stop by and let me share my Friday the 13th post with you.
Country hugs, Sherry
Heej Riet,
Prachtige foto's, ze spreken echt voor zichzelf.
Een heel fijn weekend, groetjes Irma
Wonderful shot of the geese even without the wavy reflection!
Your second shot just shows how little water is needed for a great shot - I like this.
Sometimes tha happens to me. I leave a comment but then it's gone.
I took a second look. I think it's very interesting how man and nature work together to control water in Holland. I imagine flodding could cause a problem in such a flat land.
Riet, these are both lovely.
The first photo is lovely as I am a bird lover, but the second is so very interesting..good eye...
These are wonderful photos! I like to see reflection of critter, and trees!
These trees receive probably a haircut every year!
Very nice.
Alle zijn leuk en mooi foto's... Groetjes!
Love the swans. Very interesting about the second photo. Sharon
Hello again Riet. I almost forgot to tell you that the mirror in my picture was attached to a wall. I think it was put there to help people who are backing out their cars into traffic.
There were no cars on the street when I took the picture though.
The swans look so graceful and love the second photo and its reflection, great composition!
We have black swans here. You are good in taking a close up photo.
Beautiful photos, I love the swans.
The reflection in the little stream is so clear and amazing that you noticed ot in such little water. Beat swans reflection too.
Mooie dieren, kan me niet voorstellen dat ze in dat smalle slootje passen.
prettig weekend!
Swans are such graceful birds. The second photo of the water ditch makes me think it would be a good cross-country jump for riding.
Mooie foto's, Riet! Zwanen zijn altijd zulke fotogenieke vogels! Deze omgeving lijkt wel wat op de plaats waar ik woon!
Two beautyful reflections, and two great autumn lights..
Riet, your photos are incredible. The swans and their reflections and of course the beautiful roses! :)
Your swans live up to their legendary, graceful reputation but the second photo's reflection is magically unique!
I love the swans, they are so elegant. And the second shot is very interesting, thanks for the explanation. Kathy
I'm sure swans were invented for 'reflection' photography!
Riet wat mooi dat water en die knotwilgen , het is echt een mooie weerspiegeling !
Lieve groet Rini
