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.
The lobster boat hull at the top serves to anchor this image, lest perception becomes more free-floating than what's on the water.
"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.

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!! :))

DSC00097-Edit
I made this image nine months ago and forgot about it. Last night I had a vivid dream in which this picture was the only visual. I stood looking at all the differences in this one body of water while reflecting on the changes and influences in my life. good dream. (full size)

Dont we all love to perceive things about others? Its funny how we end up judging people in wrong ways just because of their attire.
It might well be the case that she finds freedom in covering her external beauty to others.

30 Days of Perception - Day 17
I went into the bedroom to close the window and bring the blinds down to protect the furniture from the bright sunshine. This is what I saw. The patterns of dotted light shining everywhere. I know how quickly the lighting changes, so I had to be quick with my capture. It was a lovely moment watching those changing dots of light.
