Nada sei sobre esta foto. Mas imagino que, em vez de "coincidência", tenha sido planejada. Seja como for, o resultado ficou ótimo.
2011 New York City
I used scraps from my Kona Castle Quilt kit. The strips remind me of living in NYC, the sky scrapers, and the many city blocks we used to walk there.
serendipity (n): the art of making happy discoveries, or finding the unexpectedly pleasant by chance or sagacity
tis one was created for a challenge against Merryclaude on french forum : "Atlantic". so I prefer create animals but for this one I've wanted to create a boat like the one who dicovered America in 1492 ! fold on a bird base in one uncut square of kraft paper (40cm)... the photo was taken on the Atlantic Ocean in France ...
Whoa, what's that? You say? Two uploads on two consecutive days? I must be feeling sick!!
But no, i'm just procrastinating maths.

Serendipity: "lucky in making unexpected and fortunate discoveries."
A special moment captured at the Saatchi gallery in London UK. I had to be quick to capture the woman's shoes mirroring the painting and sculpture. Candid and fun.
I bought more grass yesterday to shoot so I don't have to go around hunting for just the right grass. This is my second go with my SB600 flash and I'm loving the result! Hope you enjoy. :)
Our first journey is to find that special place for us.
Taken at Kuyakata Beach, Bangladesh.

Light reflected in to her face from a bible she was holding. Divine inspiration or just serendipity.

Serendipity - the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.
A Lowl or possibly a owlamb.
One of those weird images you only see once you have it on the computer screen.
Take a close look at the lamb's face.
We knew the weather was supposed to be nice, but the calm river was a bonus.
This is the Ambassador Bridge from the Windsor side.
I don't think the Least Bitterns like the invasive water hyacinth that covers much of the shoreline on Horsepen Bayou this time of year because it interferes with their fishing. On the other hand, it sure makes for effective camouflage.
i was sitting at the upper romero pools, taking pictures of the butterflies on the other edge of the pool, when i heard a hummingbird whirring by, i turned and only had time for one snap before it was gone.

Serendipity ... defined as a fortunate happenstance; luck that takes the form of finding valuable or pleasant things that are not looked for. That's how I describe this encounter.
Recently, Tom & I traveled out west and were treated to numerous bison photo opps, but this bison encounter and subsequent image was not from that trip, but rather a trip closer to home. No, I'm not talking about a zoo or some roadside wildlife rehabilitation center. This was the true Florida wilderness known as Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park, located in Alachua County, just outside of Gainesville, FL.
Encompassing approximately 21,000 acres of prairie and wetlands, is home to many types of wildlife ... your typical alligators galore, snakes, a wide variety of birding during migration, bobcats, deer, wild horses, and yes, a herd of wild bison. In the 1970's, a small herd (8 females, 1 male) of American bison were introduced to the prairie, imported from Wichita Mountain NWR in OK. A few years back, in a controversial move, they corralled the bison (then numbered in the 70's), checked them for disease, penned the pregnant females, castrated the young males (ouch), and removed the adult males and sent them to local landowners, with the promise that they were to live their lives out naturally on those lands. The reason for this drastic endeavor was that the heard was "becoming unmanageable" and the older males were becoming aggressive. I try very hard to understand wildlife management issues and I know that there's 2 sides to every story.
That being said, Tom & I have set out to find these beautiful bison on numerous occasions while visiting the Gainesville area. We have seen them before, but usually from a great distance, or from the side of the highway. We've always had better luck for the wild horses, often sharing the trail with them or having them race by us, off in the grasslands, as we stood there stunned by their grace, beauty, and speed.
On this particular day, we were in search of primarily birds, and of course, since it was relatively early in the day and the fog was still hanging over the landscape, a landscape image or two ... hence we set out with 2 cameras - wildlife & landscape equipped. Making frequent stops for "ordinary" sightings along the way, we eventually head out on the LaChua Trail. At one point, Tom told me to get the wildlife camera ready, as he had spotted what he thought was one of the wild horses. I was quite excited and checked out all of my settings, not wanting to miss a fleeting shot. Before long, Tom told me he must have been incorrect in his sighting and we quickly settled in for more alligators and birds. Then, he froze his stance ... and told me to freeze mine as well. Emerging out of the prairie grasses, right before us, was this lone bison. I snapped 2-3 shots with my wildlife lens, knowing full well that I had too much lens. What's a girl to do? Well, quickly I changed from my wildlife lens to my landscape lens, and snapped off numerous images. The trail is about 10 feet wide, so we maintained our stance and carefully observed the bison, trying to determine his wishes for ownership on the trail. Off trail was fairly wet grasslands on one side ... and a canal filled with alligators on the other. So we were forced to share. Over time, this peaceful bison passed within close proximity to us on several occasions. I believe that it felt comfortable with our presence and knew that we were there peacefully observing its each and every move. :-) We tried to warn other unaware hikers of its presence, so as not to create a chaotic situation. We all marveled at our encounter and the size and strength of this bison, and also how peaceful we all co-existed for those moments.
We felt truly blessed... some at the sighting itself ... others at living to tell. LOL. It's all about your wildlife comfort level.
I thought about the encounter as we left the prairie and I remarked how serendipitous it was. We visited without specifically seeking the bison out, and consequently were treated to our best bison encounter at Paynes yet. Oh, and we didn't even have to leave Florida! :-) You just never know what you'll encounter, if you give chance an opportunity. I love that!
Thanks for stopping by to view and especially for sharing your thoughts and comments.
