The Log House, Rhino's Turf, Etc

avatar

"Ling, look at this cute log house!" the Farmboy sounded excited as he entered the car and quickly showed me a photo he had taken. "Where is it?" I inquired thinking we would go check it out. "It's in that corner but they had big dogs so I took one shot and ran away," he said half-laughing and pointing at the west side of the narrow road we were parked at.


Although it was not intentional, it felt like he was teasing me with it knowing it was a dream of mine to have a log cabin on the small property we purchased a few years ago. The place is close to the city but distant enough one would think he's in a secluded woods. Seeing the house's photo awakened my desire and left me imagining how I prefer mine to be.

Anyway, I noticed the lovely images of trees and other things mirrored on the house's glass windows and the Reflection Hunter's challenge immediately came to mind. I would have insisted we take a look and get more photos but with angry dogs, hell no, lol! So yeah, it's just this single pic and no more but it's okay.

Well, below is actually his original shot. I slightly edited (tilted), gave it a warmer tone, and added more shadows to it in an attempt to make the reflections appear sharper.


On that same day, we hunted some faint but nice reflections while exploring Clark Resort. Some rainwater accumulated on the uneven concrete grounds in the Rhino's Turf caught the mirrored images of some of the structures in the immediate vicinity. (Note: I just called it 'Rhino's Turf' because it's the easiest way to describe it, lol!)


We even had a surprise encounter with my cousin and her in-laws. We saw them posing amongst the statues outside as we arrived so we invited them for coffee.

The pic below was snapped right after we were seated at one of the tables inside the hotel's restaurant. It was discreetly taken as a memento of the moment since I was too shy to take a groufi (group selfie), lol!


This last one was captured as we exited the resort's driveway. I just wanted to take one more shot and didn't know it caught the gate's reflection so it deserves to be included here too.


Well, there ends my wee story along with our hunts in participation to Round 185 of the Show Me A Reflection contest, most popularly known as the Reflection Hunter's Challenge by Olgavita.

It's always nice to catch reflections intentionally, more so when they are accidental as they will surely surprise you when you view them and they were there without you even realizing it while taking the shots :) The hubby snapping the reflections on the log house's windows was purely an accident and so was my last pic of the resort's gate.

I'd say it's been fun!

Thank you and have an amazing Sunday where you are!

Good to know you too hunt for shadows as well. That's great, at least we share that in common, shadows and reflection hunters.
Cool reflection photos friend, I really love the reflection photo of the standing bottled water.
The environment looks cool too.
Wishing you good luck in the contest friend!!

I also love to build wood cabin in our province but mostly our resources there is bamboo that's why bamboo cabin is still good for me. It's kinda scary though to built it on woods since there are lots of elements might visit each night haha.

Anyways, the reflection is very nice, it might be astounding if it caught in a nice angle which the reflection of the rhino is also visible.

A bamboo cabin would be cool too. And oh no, elements visiting at night? Your imagination is wild, haha

And oo nga, maganda sana kung nakuha yung reflection ng rhino statue. Tinamad ako magpix haha. Lowbat na rin kasi phone ko that time so parang rush na lang lahat 😅

The house is quite attractive. I liked it very much.
The reflection of the bottle was taken quite well. You made some effort for it.

The bottle pic was a quick snap but I'm thankful it turned out quite nice.

Hahaha, you avoided a dream house view because of non-friendly dogs. Log house seems a natural place to live in, advancement is causing us to think of skyscrapers everyday. It's good you have natural values.
Happy Sunday too you friend

Oh, mad dogs are scary 😁

I prefer detached homes to skyscrapers that's why I retired to the countryside after living in cities most of my adult working life hehe

Thank you and have a lovely one :)

Good morning dear friend @ifarmgirl
Beautiful house, I like constructions made of wood, it has also always been my dream to have a wooden cabin in the woods, or at least far from the city
I hope you can fulfill your dreams and buy a house like that
What a beautiful collection of reflections, I appreciate you letting us know
Have a lovely day
