TODAY'S
PHOTO -
trumpet flowers over waterfalls in the American
Orchid Society Gardens.
This "scene" brings with it our wishes
for a light, joyful and magical weekend. Last night
as I was thinking about the sunset photo I was considering
using to end this week, I realized that
there were no flower photos featured this week.
Since feedback indicates that flowers are among
the preferred categories of photos, I went to the
American Orchid Society Gardens and Greenhouse this
morning. Despite the fact that I probably have 100s
of flower photos in my files, I wanted to fully
experiencing being in the presence of the live flowers.
I chose the above photo, for the feeling of overall
spontanaeity, and aliveness I get from the whole
view. I'm also including a link for a closeup -
See TRUMPET
FLOWER . Enjoy.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERY
-
I am very fortunate to live close to some very wonderful
nature spots, which are part of my passion. I suspect
that all of you have some space, or spaces, you
can claim as places that are special to you.
I invite you to spend some time this weekend noticing
them, or noticing what ways you can create or recreate
them when they are not available. It might be through
one of more of the arts forms - painting, photographing,
reading, writing, making music. It may be in the
actual creation. Or it might be in the participation
though listening and/or viewing.
As I mentioned, I could simply have spent time with
my flower photos, fully being in the presence of
what I was seeing, as well as in the recollections
of the experience(s).
So, where can you go, be, do to experience feeling/being
fully alive this weekend? Have fun with it!
