It seems a good place to start

I'm going through a 'cloud' phase, I suppose. I realize that I run the risk that a series of similar images may become tiring to some. Yet each will be a bit different from the others.

 

I found a few which seemed to be more beautiful in black and white, which surprised me, really. I don't tend to 'think' or 'see' in those terms. I think that we each have so much in our days that can be draining that surrounding oneself with color can be restorative.

 

Yet, the more I explore photographs on flickr that are in black and white, the more and more I find beauty that is alive and vibrant! There can be such a clarity in them about reality that helps to reorient one's self. But of course you know this, as it's your images that help give me a sense of place too.

 

The tension for me is that I don't want to become 'blind' to others' ways of seeing the world around them. I simply need to remember to awake to what's really real. Thus seeing through a camera's viewfinder challenges me to try, at least, to take a different glimpse.

 

Thanks for all your visits and comments and faves - they are always so appreciated. Feel free though just to drop by and rest a moment - in the clouds - without having to comment if you're in a hurry. It can be my gift back to you for your graciousness. For sometimes, we just need to find a niche to rest in without any expectations...one which offers another point of view.

 

In the clouds ... it seems a good place to start ...
