Hi ,
There's a lot going on in my life right now, as I'm sure there is in yours. Thus I'm simplifying today's issue with very few words.
A few years prior to my even starting Picture to Ponder, a mentor who saw my emerging photography said, "Sheila, something is telling me to tell you, 'Don't talk.'" I understood at the time and when I started Picture to Ponder there were few words. See "Intentions" in Issue 1 (Dec. 9, 2004).
Now, as I go back over issues from the past year or two, I see more and more words or "talking". So for today, and most likely beyond,
I'm minimizing on words, inviting you to supply them or to simply "be" with the photo(s).
Today's Featured Photo -
Reflected Sunset underneath the boardwalk at Green Cay Wetlands, Boynton Beach, FL
The second photo I zoomed in on the reflecting sunset, eliminating the boardwalk. See Self-Reflecting Queries for my observation on this.
Today's Photo Story -
There's not a particular "story" around today's photos and I could create one. I'm wondering, though, do the "stories" I include make a difference for you?
Self-Reflecting Queries -
I posed the question above, specifically, "Do my stories as I include them in Picture to Ponder make a difference for you?"
And, then I went on to observe, for myself, how much of my life I'm engaged in "story-telling" to others and myself. What if I spent more time living my life, being in it, rather than in the stories, how much "richer" might my life be?
I invite you to make the same observations and queries in your life.
Also, in relation to today's photos - Is there one you prefer over the other? For me, it's the upper photo. It feels framed and anchored by the dark shapes of the boardwalk and its support.
Do you prefer the frames and anchors in your life or are you more comfortable an unconstrained space as seen in the second, albeit it does end at the tops and sides of the picture?
Remember to have fun with the queries. As always your thoughts are appreciated in the COMMENTS section on the BLOG.
