Dear ,
Last week when a friend of mine reminded me that Autumn has started, I was thrown back into remembering my first autumn in Florida, six years ago. My body actually had the sensory experience of "missing autumn." In a Photoshop Elements course at the time, where the assignment was to create a photo collage, I decided to create "Missing Autumn in NJ" to somehow bring Fall to me.
Interestingly, last week, once I expressed this and found the web page on Google, I came upon the opportunity of doing Jan Phillips Facilitators Training Workshop in the Adirondacks, New York State, where Autumn leaves should now be in abundance.
It promises to be exciting all around. What would make it even more so is connecting with any Picture to Ponder subscribers who might be in the Syracuse area. I will be spending Monday there. Please email me if you are in that area of if you know something I MUST see while there.
TODAY'S PHOTOS
represent work from several years ago. I'll find it interesting to see if there are any changes in the photographs I take next weekend, though I suspect consistency will rule.
The top is the photo collage I mentioned above. The other three images are, once again, photo/drawings, as featured in the last issue of Picture to Ponder. In this case they were autumn leaves in New Jersey.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
When you've longed for something, such as when I was "missing autumn" several years ago, what actions do you take? Are you proactive, or do you stay in the "dwelling"?
Similarly when you
find yourself in the midst of frustration, what is your response?
And, if your ordinary response is not one that brings you fun, I invite you to find a means to "play" your way through the next time you find yourself in one of the above situations.
Peace and fun.
