“Listen to me, everybody! I’m your new leader! I’m gonna save your lives! I’m gonna tell you what to do!” ~ Chicken Little (1943)
Do you remember the story of Chicken Little or Henny-Penny, who caused absolute hysteria in the farmyard, when after an acorn fell on her head, she spread the word that the sky was falling? Well, she was absolutely right. π
OMG ! We used to call our oldest sister chicken Little as she always thought the worse was going to happen.
Gorgeous!!
Thanks. π
I’ve seen about a zillion cloud reflections in water, but this is the most realistic one I ever saw! I had to look twice. I was thinking, how did she do this before I realized that the clouds were reflections. This is a great shot!
Thanks so much, George. I thought it was quite an unusual photo. π
Such a beautiful capture. Good eye!
Thanks so much, John. π
You’ve caught two of my favorite things- clouds and reflections. The only thing missing is waves, but of course that might not work too well on the reflections! π
Thanks, Gunta. No waves here in the wetlands. π
Beautiful shot!
Thanks, Imelda. π
Love it! Wonderful pairing, photography plus story!
Thanks, Babsje. Just a bit of fun. π
She was right! It Happened!
Terrific Sylvia!
Thanks, Phil. π
That is a GORGEOUS shot! BTW, I used to have a bumper sticker (many years ago!) that read “Chicken Little was right!”
Thanks so much, Madelaine. I’ve never seen a bumper sticker like that. How funny! π
Great reflection AD, beautiful !
Thanks so much.. π
Stunning shot.
Thanks so much. π
That is one beautiful capture …. and …. a cute little story to go with it.
I wonder if one was swimming you could touch the clouds. ~~~~~ : – )
Thanks so much, Izzy. I think if one went swimming there, one could get eaten by alligators. π―
hahaha … Florida – I gather???!!!!
You guessed right. π
What a great shot Sylvia. I wonder if that is what Simba thinks when it’s thunder and lighting. π
Thanks for sharing hon. *big hugs*
Thanks, Sonel. I’m sure that’s exactly what Simba thinks. Hugs to you. xx
non conoscevo questa deliziosa storiella!….ma ho visto come tutto il cielo dalla testa del pulcino era caduto nell’acqua, ha ha
magnifico
I did not know this delicious story! …. but I saw how all the sky from Chick’s head had fallen into the water, ha ha
magnificent
Thanks so much. π Glad you enjoyed the story and the photo.
You and the chickens are very clever π
Me and the chickens, Gilly? Sounds like we’re in cahoots. π
Great photo`s. Looks like the sky fell into the lake. π not on his head.
Thanks, Leo. Glad you enjoyed the pic. I could have walked on those clouds, but wasn’t going to take a chance, as there were probably alligators lurking underneath them. π
You could turn that picture upside down and none would be the wiser! Beautiful!
Hehehe. Thanks, Elisa. π
I always thought that Chicken Little had the right of it! And now, here is the proof! π
Thanks, Rebecca. Glad you agree with me. π
Eeeek – Poor chicken little.
Nice photo. Love the reflection of the clouds/sky in the water!
Thanks, RoSy. Glad you enjoyed. π
That is a very nice reflection of the sky. Looks more clearer down than up π
Thanks, YC. π
Awesome! Not even a minnow tickling the surface to distort the mirror.
Thanks so much. Absolutely calm, Col. π
I see what you did there. And I like it. π
A great introduction to a great photo.
Thanks so much, Lance. π
I feel like you’ve turned my world upside down π
Yes, it was very weird being there too. π
Dude this is an awesome picture. How clear is that lake! Awesome double sky.
Thanks, TG. It is quite amazing. I agree. π
I have my net ready π
Thanks for the smile and the gorgeous shot, Ad.
Hahaha. Thanks, Jo. Glad you liked it. π
Gorgeous.
Glad you liked it. π
Great title for this stunning photo!
Thanks, Cee. π
The clouds/water make for a beautiful shot. Oh the memories of Henny-Penny, π
Thanks so much, Janna. That story will always stick in my memory. I read it so many time. π
I am laughing out loud. Clever pairing. The quote could have come from any of our elected leaders. π I take it the photo is beautiful south Florida.
Thanks, Lynne. You made me smile too with your comment about politicians.:) The photo was taken at Green Cay Nature Centre here in West Palm.
Ha what really perfect match AD !
I like the way your mind works π
Thanks, Poppy. Yes, it does work occasionally. π
Love the reflection in your photo … And my reflection is, that we need just that – awareness of reflection – around and about our selves to be able to grow as humans … // Maria π
Thanks, Maria. You’re so right. π
Love this reflection and the Chicken Little story goes perfectly with your photo! π
Thanks, LuAnn. π
You are so funny…and talented.
I love your comment, Gemma. π
Well I guess so π
Fabulous picture ad, and it seems Henny-Penny was quite right!
Thanks, Hopestar. It does indeed. π
Photo is beautiful!With love maxima
Thanks so much, Stefan. π
Ducky Lucky here !! I know it off by heart, as my youngest daughter wanted me to read it every night !!!!!! π
Hey, Ducky Lucky….. you and me both. π
Photo is stunningly beautiful
Thanks so much, Patrecia. π
Why…..has your sky fallen in?
I remember that story well , having read it to the children when they were small
No, my sky is still where it should be. π I also read this book to my children, countless times. They never seemed to tire of it.
Stunning cloud reflections…a lovely day and a lovely photograph of it.
Thanks, Michelle. It was too good to miss. π
