Okay, I really liked the SHADOW thread and wanted to start something new. I hope it hasn't been done 
I really like Reflection shots. I haven't done many myself, although I know many of you have on nwhikers (I've seen them  ), so I know there are plenty out there.
These sort of threads are enjoyable for me for a number of reasons. It always helps me to see a selection of like photos to get a better idea on styles and techniques for getting different kinds of pictures. We have a lot of photographers here who see things differently than I do. I like to see the differences. Anyhow, here's a poem of mine about nature and her reflection and a few photos 
The Natural Order
Awake from the calm you storm;
Come hither you clouds bring your rain and snow;
Rise up you winds, violent and passionate
And taste the rocky spires and the snowy slopes.
Weaken Rock, avalanche Snow;
Etch your beauty Storm;
Carve this art into the land for all to see;
The beauty of Earth and me.
(Clouds part, eons of time gone by);
Valleys deep and rivers strong;
Mountains high and forests wide;
And Life you are here, alive. Look. See. Know.
Grow and die, rise up from the ashes;
You must live LIFE, you beasts and plants;
Love and worship, be humbled and learn;
Face the lonely day, the year, the eons.
Future days they are yours;
Let not my image live forever;
It is evanescent. You are free Storm. Life. All.
Go out this early morn with the rising sun;
Partake in the beauty of Earth and me,
and make of it a reflection of you.

Here are a few from bonnie lake near Cheney, Wa. Sorry about the fishing boat in the second, they can't all be perfect, still good day for reflections.

What a great idea for a thread.

Great idea, Jason.
Thoughtful and philosophic poetry.
I kind of have my hiking list centered around lakes/reflections this year.
Beautiful stuff so far;I look forward to more contributions.

Oh my PIB! that could be scary on both ends. I guess I would rather mirror your thoughts than you mirror mine. You would end up corrupted!

Lots of great pictures in here. I wouldn't worry about the boat Jreamer. That makes the picture for me. Here's my 2 cents worth:
