"Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon." - Paul Brandt

I pulled my last post, my mistake. Will repost it another time but not today. Today we remember. Texture by Solstock

Please take a minute to read this uncanny phenomenon.

 

I was so excited to FINALLY see some snow outside our windows that, with "Window Wednesday" in mind, I took a shot of these two images which were placed randomly on my windowsill in December.

 

NOT until I just uploaded this post did I notice that the watercolor on the left blends so naturally into the real background it looks like I just put a mat on the sill!

 

I promise you this was NOT planned! The photo card I received from my husband is on the right, and his watercolor is on the left, along with a little added "Charlie Brown" tree . . .

 

WOW! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

  

In life we have to navigate between reality and our perception of it. This image is looking straight up into the sky from under a huge Cherry Blossom tree in full bloom during the day. What alters the perception of reality is the keen focus on the midday Sun in the center of the image from under the shadow of the tree. However, the reality is I was standing under a beautiful sea of pink Cherry Blossoms in full bloom, but the perception is that it was dark and colorless with the exception of a single brilliant light above, that being the Sun. We have the ability to change focus and greatly adjust our perception of reality. Tidal Basin, Washington DC, 8 April 2018.

No matter how small you feel, there is always a giant behind you.

"Depth Perception (2):" I took this photo last year in a remote area of the Hassayampa River. The water in which I was standing when I was shooting was already knee deep. If you look closely into the water, just beyond the rocks in the foreground, you may see that there is a sudden drop-off into a bowl-like chasm, the depth of which I did not want to measure myself. Instead, I stopped and enjoyed the reflections of the colorful rock patterns across this watery abyss.

The 18th century, the age of Enlightenment is marked by the modernist ideal of ultimate perception. The telescope which was increasingly used in this era was a means of unlimited perception from the below and of the above, whilst the Eiffel Tower which was built a century later was the medium of unlimited perception from the above and of the below.

HBW!

 

This would have been better with a tripod .. but oh well.

This image just kept getting darker and darker... but that's not really where I wanted it to go. So I thought I'd find a poem or something to explain darkness in the image, so I started to look up the word sorrow but instead came across a wonderful bit of conversation between two sisters - Marianne and Elinor in the novel Sense and Sensibility - where Marianne is caught up in the fabulous whirl of leaves as they fall... and her sister is... should we say.... not! Sisters!! :))

Està la petjada enfonsada o en relleu? i la roca? ara gira la foto (o el teu cap) 180º i torna-la a mirar!

Està la huella hundida o en relieve? y la roca? ahora gira la foto (o tu cabeza) 180º y vuelve a mirarla!

Is the footprint bumped? and the rock? now rotate the photo (or your head) 180º and look again!

Composite of photograph's I've taken since moving to New Mexico. This is a derivative work from www.facebook.com/share/p/1DvsmXs3jd/My. Behind any one image published here, there are several in its wake, explorations of potentiality, lost in the shuffle. Inspired by the vivid enchantment by way of its potentiality and quiet surprises that arise constantly. It's a wonder.
