Walking on the pathway at Chapultepec Park, Mexico City, we saw a stone feature and a reflection of that, and an egret on the lake.

Lesser Flamingo Reaching for Water
The lesser flamingo is a tall, large-bodied bird with a long neck and small head. Most flamingos, including this species, have pale pink plumage, legs, and bills. This species has a highly specialized diet consisting almost entirely of microscopic blue-green algae and benthic diatoms found only in alkaline lakes, salt pans, saline lagoons, and estuaries. Here is one reaching for water at Sylvan Heights Bird Park and creating reflections in the water.

Flamingo Reflections
A new study reveals that flamingos are not passive filter feeders but active hunters of prey. Instead of chasing their diverse diet, they create disturbances in the water that force the food items to come to them, a much more efficient approach.
Here is one trying to create a disturbance in the water at Sylvan Heights Bird Park, but instead has colorful reflections.

Peace of Chapel Reflections
The Chapel of Peace at Hart Square is at the lower end of Upper Lake. This old log church is a complete original circa 1871. It served an Episcopal congregation in the nearby community of Whitnel, North Carolina, and operated as a place of worship until around 1920.
The views of the chapel over the Upper Lake offer striking reflections on the water from various angles. The moon in the sky adds to the image.
