Dear ,

Today's message and photos focus on textures and stories in our lives. "What's real?" can be considered the question of the day.

When I started looking for feature photos for this issue of Treasure Your Life Now some of my recent bird portrait photos surfaced. Then I began to get caught up in textures in other recent photos taken at the Dreher Park Zoo in West Palm Beach, FL.

The top photo is example of "the power of suggestion." As I was walking in an enclosed, large aviary section of the zoo, the small white rock you see in it immediately caught my eye. Given that my brain knew I was in a bird environment, my instant, automatic response was to perceive it as an egg. Upon closer look though I saw that it was a rock, the thought of the egg remained with me for a while.

Today's Additional Photos -

The above three photographs are of feathers from one or more Macaws - large, beautifully colored members of the Parrot family.

Before reading on I invite you to spend a moment or two with each of the photos and observe your own responses.

The feathers were on a educational exhibit table as we walked out of one area of the zoo. They were placed on a relevantly printed fabric. In the top photo, especially, it's difficult to separate the actual feathers from the parrot image that is a print on the fabric.

I love the play of lines, silky textures and contrasts in the middle photo. The bottom, of the feathers alone, placed and photographed horizontally, has a whole different, almost ethereal quality for me.

Once I had decided on "Texture" as the theme for this issue the next photo jumped out at me.

Quite obviously an Owl (a live one), the contrast, or blending, of his feathers with that of the wire against the fence slats captivates me.

What draws you in here?

And moving on to Self-Reflecting Queries and Relationship Tips -

What was your experience with the photos and with what I wrote?

Do you find yourself seeing things exactly as you think they are without any added interpretations?

If so, I invite you have a conversation with another on one or more of the photographs. Without sharing first what either you or I saw, ask for that other person's experience.

Is it any different from yours? If so, is there anything you can take from that to apply to other areas of your life, particularly in your relationships with other people?

Given we started out with Macaws, I'm concluding with a photograph of two live ones. Following their example I invite you to embrace another person or yourself. Or, in some other way demonstrate a connection as these two birds are doing.

As always, have fun, and please post what comes up for you in the COMMENTS section of the blog.
