TODAY'S PHOTO -
An Ibis surrounded by Fireflag plants in Wakodahatchee Wetlands
This bird took all kinds of interesting shapes as I observed and photographed him stretched out as well as with his head buried in his wings. This particular view appeals to me because of the overall feeling of the whole "scene," in addition to the
posture of the Ibis. I also like the way we see the black tip on the inside of the partially opened wing.
I love the flow of all of the lines and the repetitions of shapes in the leaves and in the bird in this photo. They all seem to point to and surround the Ibis in a very gentle and comforting way.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
Are there places in your life where you can be comfortable assuming all kinds of different positions? This could be physical, such as in an exercise studio or someplace in your home, as well as in terms of roles we play?
What aspects of those spaces embrace you and provide you the freedom to be? How can you use this information in other areas of your life?
