Today's Picture to Ponder Photos
The upper photo - A White Egret spreading his Mating Feathers in Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Delray Beach FL - In addition to the delicate feathers, note the intensified color in the beak of the Egret.
The lower photo- A Lily with White and Orange Chrysanthemums behind it -
I particularly like the lighting here. Note the shadows of the stamen on the petal on the left.
Seemingly an odd combination of photos, these both represent this season of Spring and its upcoming holidays.
Today's Self-Reflecting Queries
Basically, as I ponder it, the essence of today's Picture to Ponder has become about CELEBRATION - celebrating a book launch, holidays, Nature and life and opportunities for celebrating ourselves.
In choosing to once again lead Through and From the Lens Teleclasses, I'm realizing it's an opportunity for you to celebrate yourself - perhaps a part of you heretofore unknown to you - AND I'm actually honoring myself by doing this.
When she read my announcement, past participant Blaise Allen wrote, "I'm so happy you are doing this again! You were meant to teach this course."
I now invite you to take a few minutes to reflect on, "What is it about yourself that you can celebrate?" Perhaps in your relationship with yourself, with others, your talents....You fill in the blanks. What would you like to celebrate? Are there people in your life whom you would also like to celebrate?
What is it that you are meant to be doing? Are you doing it?
And, after answering these questions for yourself, what actions, if any, are you willing to take? And, though it may sound "heavy" in my writing, be sure you include fun in whatever comes up for you.
Lastly, as always, when you're finished, I invite you to share your experience with today's photos and writing on the blog. See the instructions below if you need help.
Happy Holidays to all of you who are celebrating one in the next week.
