Colourful reflections

Remember my previous posts about rainbow reflections being formed from sunlight passing through a red jug and by the peacock-shaped patterned glass on our front door? Well, the latter combined with today's bright and clear morning allowed me to take these pictures:

The familiar wavey rainbow pattern on the kitchen floor. This is the most common type of the rainbow reflections, given that the kitchen floor is in the direct path of the sunlight when it shines through the window.

The rainbow pattern on the kitchen, this time significantly smaller after the angle of the Sun had changed.

This is the rainbow pattern when it was diagonally streaked across the wall. It's not often that we see the reflection in this manner, mainly because we're rarely near the front door at the time of the day when this particular reflection is possible.

Similar to the above picture with the wall, except this time the reflection is streaked across the kitchen door.

This last picture, however, was not caused by sunlight shining through the glass. Instead, this pretty pattern on the wall was produced by Mum's watch reflecting the bright morning light.

All of these pictures were taken with my phone and I'm impressed with how they turned out. What a great morning for reflections it was!
