Today's Picture to Ponder Photos
two young Great Blue Herons not yet ready to leave their nest in Wakodahatchee Wetlands
This is one of those times where I took a lot of photos to get a few good one. I captured the top view when one of the observers commented on the heart-shape feel of the position the two birds were in. I think it's set off nicely with the pinks.
I like the second simply for the fact that I was pleased with myself for having gotten a clear picture with the open wing.
Self-Reflecting Queries
As I checked the thumbnail links on the BLOG for a visual of what has been featured in recent issues, I saw that we haven't had birds in a while, thus today's choices.
Evidently I've made some "rules" that there should be variety of photos presented in the issues of Picture to Ponder. Part of it undoubtedly has to do with my inner drive to please everyone over time.
Sometimes our self-made rules hold us back as we try to satisfy others with what we think will please them, usually without even checking it out. At other times these rules may merely set up simpler structures for within which we can effectively operate.
Are you aware of rules that you have set up for actions you take? If so, do they hold you back, or do they make things easier for you?
One thing that I'm left pondering is, "Will the impact of today's photos be any different for you because the choice was from an intellectual plane rather than from a level of excitement for the photos themselves at the time I was making my selection?"
Turning that back to you, I invite you to notice times when you act from passion as contrasted with similar situations when you operate from matter-of-fact spaces. Are there differences?
Note: Due to our personal schedule, this is the only issue of Picture to Ponder that is being delivered this week.
