TODAY'S PHOTO -
green cane and ocean bubbles on Delray Beach, Florida.
My 4th of July started with a beautiful walk on Delray Beach,
timed to get there just before the 6:30 AM sunrise. Although the
sunrise was interesting as small clouds painted a mini picture
across a portion of the rising sun, the true joy for me this particular
morning was walking along the beach exploring and feeling the
warm water on my toes.
The walk had been unplanned and once the sun was up I knew I
needed to be walking. I took off my socks and shoes, tied them
together, slung them over my shoulders, and started walking.
I fully enjoyed experiencing the play of the water on the seaweed,
sand and other objects on the wet shoreline.
When I got home and downloaded the photos,
I found that I had taken over 250! They included the fisherman
that was casting his net before sunrise and the Michigan girl
and her grandfather enjoying the ocean for the first, and last,
time before their trip home. You can expect some of these photos
to show up here in the next days and, undoubtedly, in the future.
Walks are great for ideas popping up. Looking at the random
patterns of seaweed, and what got caught up in it, had me think
of a new term, NATURal COLLAGES.
The pull for me in today's photo is mainly the bubbles. I've
never captured so many bubbles of such a large size! In addition
I like their rhythm and the play of them around the last of
whatever that plant life had been.
Sam said that at first he got the feeling of "antique."
Though it is the palm stalks (or whatever they are), when I
looked at the imagery through "antique" eyes, I saw
the suggestion of the top of a broken chair.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
I'm sure I've included, at least once in an earlier issue, one
of my favorite quotes:
If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking. Angels
whisper to a man when he goes for a walk. Raymond Inmon.
Have you done any walking lately, using it as a time to observe
and check for new ideas and creative thoughts? Or, are you aware
of what it is for you that will generate new ideas in a joyful,
peaceful way.
Interestingly, when I was in Google to double check the quote
above, I came across a relevant article that some of you might
appreciate -
"Want to Expand your Business? Try Walking in the Grass,"
by Diana Hughes. See ARTICLE.
Enjoy!
