TODAY'S PHOTO
-
a tree frog resting in a tree in Wakodahatchee Wetlands.
For those old enough to remember - At first, looking
at this tree frog through the camera lens, I was reminded
of the lizard shoes and hand bags that at one time
were popular.
Looking at the photo on the screen, though I'm a little
put off by the bulging eye, and not drawn in by the
colors, I am conversely experiencing the feeling of
peace (the world of conflicting emotions.)
Today, in researching "wetlands tree frogs"
in google, I found
that "Though called a gray tree frog (Hyla Versicolor);
this animal can be many colors. Depending on where
the frog is resting it can be shades of gray, brown,
green, or white. The range of the frog is in the wooded
wetlands in North America."
Resulting questions/thoughts which come up for me
out of this are:
"How many colors do we take on in the range of
our emotions? in responding to our environments? Do
our colors change? Our postures certainly do.
And have you ever looked into the mirror, not liked
what was being reflected, and changed your clothes
and the colors embracing you and experienced a different
appearance and feeling? I have.
READER COMMENTS ON THE LAST ISSUE - Issue
82
and speaking of appearances, subscribers first reactions
to yesterday's Bo Tree leaf that was on the ground
was that it was an aerial view. Well I guess it was
since the leaf was on the ground, except for 2 of
the photos on the PATTERNS
page. Those that have stronger colors were photos
of the leaf in my hand.
"As this was first
coming up, before I realized what it was, I thought
I was looking at an aerial photo. After, I found a
bird face, with a really long, pointy beak."
If I hadn't mentioned
it, it's the "bird" that had me chuckle.
"Oh yeah - lovin'
that texture and the muted colors - it almost looks
like one of those aerial photos taken from a few miles
above the earth, so you can see outlines of streets
but nothing more than that in detail - and it would
be of FLorida cuz there's water surrounding the land
:~)"
"Interesting! When I first looked at it, I did
not even see a leaf. Instead I thought it was a shot
from space. I see roads (even one that goes in an
arc as it nears the shore line). The darker areas
are the water; notice a few tiny islands in the ocean.
There are clusters of homes in the green areas, and
so forth.."
