Some great photos recently...Matt and Kelly are having a competition all their own. I think Kelly has got the hang of it, despite her early protestations.
Nice butterfly, Brenda. I just happened to see these same ones this weekend...and took some pictures of them too...must be their season.

I looked for as many examples of symmetrical subjects this weekend as possible and found a few.
Here's one that is surely going to be one of my favourite photos of the summer.

This is the "hook" we hang our towel on, at our outdoor wash stand...at our summer place.

The kind of symmetry I like to shoot is the non-perfect kind... where elements are offset disrupting perfect mirroring, but if you compose just right you have enough balance for the whole image
