Have you ever noticed how lights reflected on water look different in summer and winter?
I don't know whether it's the water temperature that does it, but I always think there's less depth to the reflected colours in summer.
These were taken while I was in Cornwall recently; they're hand held with long exposures and I make no apologies for the camera-shake.

Pro Ummmm.... I suppose the length of exposure might depend on whose hand was doing the holding... 
la_spice
Usksider
Pro Ha! 
Tentativeplotfinder
I think I need a one of those... I'm forever mentally zipping my mouth.
Usksider
Pro We'll have to ask where they come from. 
Tentativeplotfinder
I'm going to need a permanent one for this weekend! The nearest thing I have to a boss is coming to stay for five days...
Usksider
Pro Oh oh... there could be trouble ahead...
Tentativeplotfinder
Tell me about it!! Best behaviour time all round, apart from her coming here out of a sense of duty, me wanting to be somewhere else altogether, sulky rest of the household.
It will be a miracle if there aren't explosions in this neck of the woods.
Usksider
Pro I think maybe I'll get a big pair of ear defenders...
Tentativeplotfinder
Good plan!
Tentativeplotfinder
But I've got the zip for my mouth now. That will help!!
Usksider
Pro I'll only cover one ear then! 
Tentativeplotfinder
I can make a lot of noise even with my mouth zipped - so, yes, that would be very wise.
Usksider
Pro Yes I'd heard that you can be noisy... 
Tentativeplotfinder
My reputation going before me again?
Usksider
Pro A little bird tells me you were the life and soul of events yesterday.
Tentativeplotfinder
I'm blushing now!! Don't think I was, but I certainly wasn't in a back corner saying nothing, either!!
Usksider
Pro Just teasing really; various people have said how much fun you all had at yesterday's lunch, and mentioned the singing/dancing.
Tentativeplotfinder
Phew...
Tentativeplotfinder
Learnt how to do these things now!!! (Hugging I've always been very good at!)
Usksider
Pro Ah yes, the hugs...
Tentativeplotfinder
Since you can't have the one I sent to Liverpool for you - it's the best I could do!!
Except I have another possible cunning plan up my sleeve. My very spacious sleeve.
Usksider
Pro Yes I'm sorry to miss the hug... and am intrigued now too...
Tentativeplotfinder
I'll keep working on the plan!
Usksider
Pro Ok... I'll sit quietly then!
kiki2u
Yes 
i use to notice it and i lovephotos of it!
These ones are amazing too
Usksider
Pro Thanks Kiki... glad you like them.
that second one is a really beautiful picture mate, love it.
Usksider
Pro Thanks; shame I shivered when I released the shutter though...

Usksider
Pro Ten wants one of these zippy mouths...
la_spice
I'll just pop over and deliver one!
Usksider
Pro That's very kind, I'm sure she'll be pleased.
la_spice
She is - I sent her one of these as well!:
Usksider
Pro Excellent!

Perhaps it's because you spend more time outside in the dark in winter to notice? or that you have to concentrate on something pretty to ignore the cold or rain?
Usksider
Pro That's possible I suppose... I hadn't thought of it that way before.
lovely pictures....never thought about the reflections and seasons...I suppose in summer there are more algae things floating around or something to slightly cloud the water that die in the winter so it is clearer water????????? or something!
Usksider
Pro Clever water? Now that's a lovely idea! Wish I'd thought of it...
//CLEARER// water!!
Usksider
Pro Doh!
I really must change my glasses!
//CLEVER// water is a scary concept!!! I'm off to get dressed and so on...have a good day Usky! 
Usksider
Pro I reckon clever water must be related to heavy water...

I was tempted to say something about "hand held long exposure"! but won't
