TODAY'S
PHOTO -
pine needles behind a tree limb in Wakodahatchee
Wetlands
This week's hat and feet photographs were quite
different from the Nature ones I usually feature
in Picture to Ponder. I felt the need last night
and today to get back to Nature, so I went "walking"
through several folders of photographs.
When on the actual walk in Wakodahatchee a couple
of months ago these pine needles caught my eye simply
for the way they were peeking out over the limb.
Last night it was the brightness. the depth and
the richness of color that captured and kept my
attention. I also find it interesting that despite
the fact that most of the needles are dead, there
is an aliveness to the picture.
For those who like to play
with possible other images in our photos I find
these pine needles a fitting conclusion to the week
in that I see what could be a hat. On the other
hand Sam saw it all as fireworks and quickly went
to get a photo he took of fireworks over a castle
(white blur, lower left) in Heidelberg, Germany
many years ago. See FIREWORKS.
This weekend I invite you to look for objects of
people peeking out from behind other things. Make
it a great weekend.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
When you need a change of scenery - real or in your
mind - where do you go? Perhaps you want the feeling
of being uplifted. What do you do?
Do you remember your answers to the above at those
times, or would it serve you to write them down
now, or note them in some way, so that you can quickly
call them up in the future?
The invitation to look for physical "peeking
out" objects this weekend could also apply
to thoughts or ideas. Are there some almost hidden
ones in your thoughts patiently waiting to grab
your attention?
As always, have fun with
this.
