Thank you. I'm actually reflected in a mirror that hangs from the tree. I just edited the post to add that info because it's probably not obvious unless - like me - you were there to see all the mirrors hanging from the tree.
Oh hello! Meta photo! (I love self-portrait reflections in photos. It's a thing with me.) You look wonderful (and thank you for the commentary because I wouldn't have known where the mirror was. I probably would have thought you layered it in PS.) The color and the light in the landscape are catnip to me, just absolutely beautiful and golden. Was it "magic hour" ?
I added the commentary after a few comments. I realized the mirrors weren't noticeable if you didn't know they were there.
I actually did not take the shot. I met a woman in the park and we were walking together. When she stopped to take reflections in the mirrors, I stood to one side and she just happened to get a shot with me in it. It was nice of her to share the pic with me.
I don't know what magic hour is. Time was between 4:30 and 5:00. I know that because the place closed at 4:30 - they have light display in the evening and want people out earlyish - and I was thinking we'd overstayed our time.

That's it actually - depending on the day. "Magic hour" or golden hour is photography/cinematography term for "a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer compared to when the Sun is higher in the sky."
I met a woman in the park who took it. We were walking together and chatting. When she stopped to take pictures of the mirrors, I waited to one side. I don't think she was trying to get me in the shot. It just worked out that way. *grin*
Yeah, after the first few comments I realized the mirror bit wasn't obvious so I edited my post! ;-)
What a beautiful photo. Looks like a perfect day to be in the park. And now that you mention it, I see another mirror hanging from the tree on the left.

The lady took a very nice picture - she knew what she was doing!
