TODAY'S PHOTO -
unidentified plant or tree in the gardens of the American
Orchid Society in Delray Beach.
With an intent to energize myself with
the beauty that is there and to get some new photos, we visited
the American Orchid Society's greenhouse and gardens yesterday.
In reviewing the photos this AM, I started for one of the
orchid pictures and was stopped by the photo above.
Given I had a some kind of physical sensation when it came
up on my screen, I'm following my intuition and including
it here.
At first I had a complete sense of peace. In looking at it
again, I'm finding it somewhat "jarring." Given
that green and red (in this case, pink) are opposites on the
color wheel, I'm not surprised.
I am intrigued as to why I keep going back to look at what
would seem to be a simple photo, "some leaves, albeit
different from the usual colors." It's now in your court.
I'd love to "hear" how you respond to this photo.
In the meantime, I am going to ask subscriber Lea Cioci for
her "analysis". Lea is another of the YOU*Uers (below)
who is doing a free focus
group. Hers is entitled "Color Your Life: Understanding
Color to Enhance Your Life" - eBook Sample.
READER COMMENTS ON THE LAST ISSUE - Issue

Apologies to anyone who might have opened PICTURE TO PONDER
yesterday and not been able to access the images. Unbeknownst
to me, eteletours.com was down for a time. The photo is now
visible when you click on the link above.

"The initial, one could say "easy," reaction
is to see a bird with a gracefully curved neck. Continued
observation, however, revealed a somewhat wizened man with
an odd headdress and a rather flowing beard. His aura is of
serenity and wisdom. One arm is stretched out, perhaps making
brush strokes in some Oriental form.
In a more macabre interpretation, he could be a ghost. (That
ties in with
the dying leaf.) I'm beginning to be quite intrigued by fireflags
myself.'" Mary Gray
Once again, thank you, Mary, for your almost daily responses.
