TODAY'S PHOTO -
sunrise reflections at Green Cay Wetlands in Boynton Beach, FL

As I was looking for a sunset photo to close the week, this one caught my attention. Since it kept calling me back, I decided that it wanted to be with you. I think it's the peacefulness of the scene. Although there are some strong verticals, it's probably the broad band of pink/peach color that's setting up the mood for me.

I wavered back and forth on the one unidentified slim straight object in the foreground. It may be a sprinkler. I find it distracting and considered simply "painting" it out. I magnified it on my computer and got the sudden feeling of a ballerina with her arms raised, hands over her head.

If I were using it as photo for submission for publication I would delete it. And here I leave it for the "meaning" some of you might find in it. Dance with joy.

SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
Perhaps this early-in-the-day reflections photo is here today to simply invite you to do some reflecting of your own over the weekend. Take an object, or a scene. Be with it. Is there anything there that you feel does not belong?

If so, what and why? Can you transform that into something else? How does this relate to your life? Have fun with it and a restful weekend.

AUDIO TESTIMONIALS -
Have you yet checked out the 28 second message from Sondra,

who shares the impact on her life of a custom photo/drawing of her father done by me?

Have you listened to Judith Tramayne-Barth and Renee Kleckner on our AUDIO LINKS page, where Judith also describes how easy it is to record a message? I'd love to have your voice there also. A sentence or two is more than enough, if you are person of a few words.

I will publish the link for yours in Picture to Ponder and on the testimonial page on the eteletours site. You can call in yourself at (214) 231-2905 ext 6956 or, if you wish, e-mail me to set a time and I can call you and 3-way you in and simply listen while you talk.
