LAST ISSUE'S IMAGE (ISSUE #40)-
an almost red hibiscus turned orange by the sunlight shining through it.

LAST ISSUE'S IMAGERY -
The transparent way the flower was lit up is what had me excited when I took the picture. Once I saw it on my monitor an added feeling of excitement settled in.

In actuality the hibiscus is along a fence in my backyard. Yet looking at it on the screen I have the feeling that I've been transported to a rain forest. Once again, something I saw became far greater when transported to a different plane, that is seen from a different perspective.

RESPONSES -
and, speaking of different perspectives, Debra wrote in, saying,

"Ooooooooooooooooo, I LOVE the transparency of the flower's petals, and that coral/red/orange thing is very in my field of vision these days. The soft glare of the sun is cool, too. It says, late afternoon to me, time to pause, reflect on the day, have some tea, relax, sit on a swing.

Or, it's morning, time to quiet your mind and focus on all the wonderful things that are going to come across your path today. Look at the petals unfolding, just like your life - in perfect order, in perfect rhythm...."

TODAY'S IMAGE -
Leaving it to you to feel first.
