TODAY'S PHOTO -
The Turtle and The Coot, in Wakodahatchee, quite different from
"The Tortoise and the Hare."
I was thinking it might be time for a flower photo again, this
week's issues of Picture to Ponder having included photos of
animals, birds and, what I'll term, the abstractions in Nature.
In my desire to please, I attempt to use photos that I think
you want to see. Unless I ask and you respond, how do I know
what it is you want? I sometimes think it's flowers because
it's those photos which seem to generate the most email responses.
As I was "pondering" this, I received an email response
to yesteray's photo from our friend Mary Gray. I decided to
ask her input in advance and sent her a few photos. Her response
was enthusiastic for them all. "The alstromeria is gorgeous...
and... However, I'd suggest the turtle and the coot. It's just
so companionable. A warm, fuzzy feeling to take into the weekend."
So, I give you Mary's pick and invite you to notice this weekend
what you do to please people, assuming that this is something
you also do, consciously or unconsciously. AND, if you ask people's
opinion, or advice, do you honor it?
I almost went on to choose an altogether different photo from
the ones I sent to Mary and then concluded, "If I'm going
to ask, then pay attention to the answer."
May this weekend bring you whatever it is that you desire.
READER COMMENTS ON THE LAST ISSUE - Issue
79
Mary Gray's response, as mentioned above:
"I
saw the images you mentioned except I never quite pinned down
Little Red Riding Hood. I also saw a long-necked bird with a
fish, but the main thing I saw when I first looked at the photo
this morning was a gaping mouth (with that "big fish"
being sucked into it.) Coming back to it now, though, it's more
like a thumb and forefinger forming a circle." Also,
"Missed commenting on yesterday's heron, but Bob Tatem
and I must have done research on some of the same sites. <g>
I, too, read about this heron "fishing" by using bait
(usually insects but even bread or bits of trash). Also, the
little green heron, like many birds, goes by other names. Perhaps
the most appropriate, given your question about its color, is
the green-backed heron, but my favorite is the swamp squaggin."
