TODAY'S
PHOTO -
pine needles behind a tree limb in
Wakodahatchee Wetlands
This week's hat and feet photographs were quite different from the
Nature ones I usually feature in Picture to Ponder. I felt the need
last night and today to get back to Nature, so I went "walking"
through several folders of photographs.
When on the actual walk in Wakodahatchee a couple of months ago
these pine needles caught my eye simply for the way they were peeking
out over the limb. Last night it was the brightness. the depth and
the richness of color that captured and kept my attention. I also
find it interesting that despite the fact that most of the needles
are dead, there is an aliveness to the picture.
For those who like to play with possible
other images in our photos I find these pine needles a fitting
conclusion to the week in that I see what could be a hat. On the
other hand Sam saw it all as fireworks and quickly went to get
a photo he took of fireworks over a castle (white blur, lower
left) in Heidelberg, Germany many years ago. See FIREWORKS.
This weekend I invite you to look for objects of people peeking
out from behind other things. Make it a great weekend.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
When you need a change of scenery - real or in your mind - where
do you go? Perhaps you want the feeling of being uplifted. What
do you do?
Do you remember your answers to the above at those times, or would
it serve you to write them down now, or note them in some way,
so that you can quickly call them up in the future?
The invitation to look for physical "peeking out" objects
this weekend could also apply to thoughts or ideas. Are there
some almost hidden ones in your thoughts patiently waiting to
grab your attention?
As always, have fun with this.
READERS' RESPONSES -
Per my mention in Issue 178, Joel Grubman wrote the piece on his
ARMY
HAT . Click on that link to read what he wrote, if you haven't
already. On the same page, now, are HAT
MEMORIES by Zannie Rose in England.
If anyone else has a hat story you'd like to share, I will add
it to the PTP Response pages, if you wish. Email
it, along with a photo if you have, to me with permission to use
your name.
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.
