TODAY'S PHOTOS
A moorhen in the midst of a
water plant.whose name I need to check out. Moorhens are everywhere
at Wakodahatchee Wetlands. As a matter of fact, they are so
common, I rarely take photos of them. This morning I was caught
up in the peacefuleness of the environment in which the bird
was standing.
The photo brings with it my wishes for a peaceful day. If things
get harried take a moment the center yourself. What beauty can
you find around you? What is being reflected in your space?
Also, are there important things around you that have become
so "common", or taken-for-granted, to you that you
simply ignore them?
READER COMMENTS ON THE LAST ISSUE - Issue
68
"Made me laugh; made me smile! Thanks heaps"
"Absolutely amazing I was truly convinced you had
taken three photos I had to compare the second and third
repeatedly before convincing myself that one was simply a rotation
of the other!"
"...you are unbelievable with a camera!"
"These are totally incredible!!!! The third shot reminded
me of an owl."
I am sharing these comments to make a point. My initial mental
response to them was, "If you take enough pictures, you're
bound to get good ones." Then I stopped myself and said,
"And it's that you saw this photo op, and it's images,
in the first place, and that you took all the pictures that
you did. These are your talents and strengths."
Where is it that you are being acknowledged? Notice those
areas that YOU simply might brush off. Pay attention. What is
it about you that's having these things be said?

important to our lives.

TRUCK ART
On Friday, I spoke of a mother who was quite excited when she
found exactly the truck art she was seeking for her son's room.
I found myself responding to her enthusiasm and, this weekend,
I revised my TRUCK
ART page on naturesplayground.com to include blank note
cards.
I've used the rear view of a cement truck card to "Pour
out joyous wishes for a Happy Birthday." Check them out,
TRUCK
NOTE CARDS, to see what creative wishes you can come up
with.
