Reflections on Reflections...

...Reflections amaze me...

...I love these sparkly ones...

...and this one - you can tell what that is can't you...it's a glass ornament that Scout won at the Scout Christmas party years ago...

...I remember learning about reflection in geometry - remember that - the mirror line - I think we might have spelled it reflexion though...then many years later - there was reflection in Computer Science - that's where a running program can 'reflect' on its own code and make changes to itself - it has to sort of treat it's own code as 'data' to be able to do this - but it's still pretty amazing...and in the networking world - there can be reflection on optical fiber - back to it's origin instead of it's destination...these are some of the reflections I see in my life (besides all my mental ones)...

...where do you see reflections in your life?...
