Today's Picture to Ponder Photos
Sky and Building reflected in second floor windows of a building in Miami, FL
We were in downtown Miami on New Year's Day. Before leaving for home we drove around for a few blocks looking at the shops and buildings. My eye was suddenly captivated by reflections in a wall of windows. We pulled over, got out and started walking and snapping (photographs)
Almost 200 photos later we left. I was in ecstasy over the muted browns and blues and the patterns. So many of the "scenes" had the feeling of wonderful, giant paintings. I will share a few of the more dramatic ones in the next issue or two of Picture to Ponder. I chose today's views for a gentle, peaceful way to start the new year.
Self-Reflecting Queries
If you follow the three photos down the page you can see they are all reflecting the same basic elements AND that there are differences in each one. As I was taking the pictures I noticed how by simply shifting, ever so slightly, the camera or my body altered the scene, in the blue section that's framed by the tan. Note the openness of that panel in the top photograph, then the oval shapes of blue in the middle photo. That same panel is almost completely closed in the third view.
I now invite you to look into your life. Is there any area where you would like to see a shift, or closure? If so, I invite you to look at it from several different perspectives, each one only slightly modified. See what opens up, or shuts down, for you.
As always have fun with this and honor the play and transformation in what you create.

"I bought your eBook earlier today and not only is it well written, the pictures you chose are lovely. The reason I waited so long to purchase was because I'm trying to curb my addiction to books and the clutter they are causing.
This morning I read the 10 page preview [link under photo on each of the description pages], and since you were offering it in a eBook format, I just had to indulge one more time. I know this will be a very successful for you. Congratulations!" Eva Macie, Artist
