    Today’s artsy: California reflections

    Done with grocery shopping, I got back in the car and looked left as I put my seatbelt on. Reflected in the door handle of the car next to me were a couple of palm trees, bright and clear in the shiny silver:

    Of course all I had was an iPhone, so I grabbed a few frames, trying to duplicate my original eyeline. A bit of cropping and other work in post-processing and we have a nice California-iconic image:
