TODAY'S
PHOTO -
a Crinum Lily, oftentimes referred
to as a Spider Lily.
Sitting at our kitchen table late yesterday afternoon I glanced
out and saw this crinum lily. The open flower, with the pod behind
it (top, to the left of center), is quite heavy and I marveled
at how the green plants underneath seemed to be supporting it.
That, of course, led me to grab my camera and "investigate."
I love the pink and lavender colors in the flower. I chose this
particular view from the series of photos I took because it shows
so well the rhythm and movement of the lines and shapes in both
the flower and the repetition of the same in the plant beneath.
Those of you interested can see the full view of the plant, and
how low and far the flower is from its source, by clicking on
CRINUM
LILY LANDSCAPE. The tall broad,
spiky leaves in the back are the plant from which the crinum lily
flower comes.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
Perhaps, because of the richness and density of the greenery,
when looking at the Crinum
Lily Lancscape photo I got the feeling of being in a Rain
Forest. Most of my experience of "Rain Forests" had
been in simulated ones in various greenhouses in major garden
attractions. I'd always yearned to visit a real "Rain Forest"
and we were very fortunate to have that experience when we visited
Costa Rica last year.
Here in my own backyard, by changing perspective (getting lower
down and into the plants) I can experience a similar feeling.
Look around you, inside and out. Are there places in your life
where you have a yearning, or two, that you might find fulfilled
in "your own backyard", if you simply change your perspective?
AUDIO TESTIMONIALS -
Have you yet checked out the 28
second message from Sondra who shares the impact on her life
of a custom photo/drawing of her father done by me?
Have you listened to Judith Tramayne-Barth and Renee Kleckner
on our AUDIO
LINKS page, where Judith also describes how easy it is to
record a message? 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 and 3-way you in
and simply listen while you talk.
READER COMMENTS -
Comments continue to come in on the PICTURE
TO PONDER BLOG . Why not add yours. Check the side
bar on the left for a listing and links to the most recent comments.
Please continue to
e-mail me with your feedback, if you are not interested in
