TODAY'S PHOTO
-
scattered pine needles on concrete at Wakodahatchee Wetlands.
Today's photo is quite different from the colorful and dramatic
looking ones in the other Issues of Picture to Ponder this week.
And, though the imagery is totally different, the theme of looking
down and creating openings remains the same.
As Sam and I were walking in Wakodahatchee, I suddenly got caught
up looking at the scattered pine needles. In the random grouping
of the one shown above, I immediately saw a cartoon character
whose name eludes me.
As we look at her, she is facing to the left. She has a very
large, drawn out chin and her hair, mostly by suggestion, is
a short, sharply-cut bob, coming across to our right, from the
chin line.
Briefly when I viewed the photo on the monitor, I saw a bird
with very long legs facing right. Sam sees it as a nautical
map of underwater activity. And you...?
This particular walk in Wakodahatchee will stay with me because
it reminded me that all I have to do when I'm in a "funk",
which I was that day, is take a walk with my camera and start
looking around me, outside myself. I come away with a whole
new enlivened energy.
That day I also took a lot of photos of Wood Knots, remembering
that I've often thought of playing with "The Wood Knots
would not..." Watch for at least one Wood Knot... next
week.
Now I invite you to notice what YOU can find to do to cause
shifts when your mind is cluttered with thoughts, particularly
ones that you don't particularly appreciate.
May you have a weekend of enlivened thoughts, images and activities.
READER COMMENTS ON THE LAST ISSUE
- Issue
113
"I immediately thought of Judy Chicago too, although I
couldnt remember her name. These last two photos remind
me of sumptuous travel magazine shots" Gretchen Little.
Thanks Gretchen, I appreciate.
"I think one of the things I like, too, is the different
perspective of the photos , this and the other one - too [the
2 buffet photos-Issues112 and 113].
It is like how I like to stand underneath trees
and take their Picture, from their heart rather than from outside.
I was just reminded of the Passionate
Prosperity lesson Which includes the lyrics from Both Sides
Now - looking AT the clouds is not understanding the clouds,
intimately.
Now getting INSIDE the clouds... THAT is the way to know them."

COMMENT on the READER COMMENTS
"In my attempt to have you chuckle some more, I decided
to comment on Julies comment about the image of a cross
on the table
cloth I see it too and with no thoughts of
religious significance one way or the other I recognize
it as a shadow cast by the sky-lighted structure that serves
as a roof over the atrium.
Starting tomorrow; however, I promise to stop acting as an engineer
because I can also exude warmth (e.g. my comments about the
water dripping from the herons beak)." [photo

92, comments on it in Issue
93] Bob Tatem. I replied to Bob, letting him know
that I truly value his engineer's perspective. I assume many
of you do also.
