TODAY'S PHOTO
-
a flower from a flowering ginger in the American Orchid
Society Gardens in Delray Beach, FL
Following up on yesterday's discussion
on ginger plants, Issue
158, this particular flower insisted on being included.
I particularly like this full flower for its erectness, warmth,
and rich color.
I also mentioned yesterday that I am facilitating a Photo/Creativity
course, the main premise for which is expanding "seeing"
and creativity. Incidentally we have been touching on some photo
editing. The spacing here today gave me a chance to play and
also show you what this flower looks like on the plant in comparison
to yesterday's photo.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
I am almost racing out the door for an appointment. I've been
faced with do a 'do a quick job, cut the query today and simply
get Picture to Ponder in the mail or wait 'til later?"
I opted for the "quickie," I thought
and, interestingly, observed how
on all days, with such time constrictions, I started playing with
a different photo format presentation.
How often do you find yourself on time deadlines? How do you manage
them? Do you shortcut or do you postpone? And, in the midst of
all of this, do others of you also add unnecessary additions to
what you normally do?
My compromise today will be to send this in the mail without testing
and presending to myself, trusting that all will be well. I will
get the blog posting up later.
Have fun observing yourself today.
AUDIO TESTIMONIALS -
Check out the new 28
second message from Sondra, who shares how a custom photo/drawing
of her father, done by Sheila, provided a major breakthrough
for her in being able to get past her many years of grief at
his loss, so that she can now enjoy photos of him.

Tramayne-Barth wrote to say, "When I wanted to make
an audio for Sheila, she made it really easy for me. She called
me and set up a 3 way call so I could record how wonderful I
think her ezine is and her artwork. I am sure she will do the
same for you. And she didn't even mind the blooper I made about
her art site name. (LOL)."
Check out Judith's and other Audio Testimonials on the new AUDIO
LINKS page.
I'd love to have your voice there also. A sentence or two is
more than enough, if you are person of a few words.
I will publish the link for yours in Picture to Ponder and on
the testimonial
page on the eteletours site. You can call in yourself at
(214) 231-2905 ext 6956 or, if you wish,
e-mail me to set a time and I can call you. We can do a
phone interview, such as the one with Renee, or I simply can
call and 3-way you in on the line, while I stay silent.
