Today's Picture to Ponder Photos
Pink Flower/Leaves from an unidentified bush in Boynton Beach, Florida
- (to be identified within the next week - Bookmark the blog and check back if you are interested in the update.)

When walking in our neighborhood, one evening, I was attracted to, and captivated by, a bush full of with pink flowers (?) that look like leaves. I felt embraced by the warm and lush pinks. A sense of love was present for me. There was also an overall feeling sensuality.

Because it was moving toward darkness and the light was low, I was unable to capture sharp photographs of the imagery. I stated that I would come back the following day. Unfortunately I forgot and it was 4 days later that I remembered.

The top photo here was taken the first evening. Though it did not capture the "pinkness," I'm drawn to the whole different quality of the satiny feeling that comes across. The lower photo was taken three days later in the middle of a bright day.

Self-Reflecting Queries
My main point in featuring today's photographs is to show examples of what happens when planned action is inadvertently, or otherwise, delayed.

Part of the differences in the colors in the bush is the difference in midday lighting. As, importantly though, in the above scenario is that, as undistinguishable as it may seem, the "flowers" had advanced to a more mature stage of growth, no long embodying the freshness that I first saw.

Are there places in your life now, where you are planning to take action at some point, and are still waiting for something to happen? If so, I invite you to act now. It may be as simple as recording what's in the present, looking at it from many perspectives.

When I became open, during the time when I was still in the "pink of it" (see blurred photo), there came the whole other perspective of the satiny appearing aspect of the photo.

As I conclude here, I am choosing to use today's photos to remind myself that changes do take place, whether we are present or not. If there is something important I want to see happen, I will plug in the anchors to remember to follow up as soon as possible.

How about you? What can you take away from these examples? Can you have fun with it?
