My older son and two grandsons are visiting this week, so today’s Picture to Ponder is late and will mainly be the photographs and story documenting discovering and transformation. The Queries are brief and might be profound for some of you.

A quick reminder before deadline to check out the full book, flip-through-the-pages, preview of PICTURES TO PONDER: INSPIRED JOURNALING Flowers Book 1. After this Friday, July 15th, the number of pages in the preview will be reduced and the price for the download will revert to its original. See below (under SRQs) for more details or click on the flower image here.
Moving from flowers to wood, water and lines - I started saying “textures” and realized flowers have textures also. The photos below are in reverse order from the way they were shot. It’s the top image that kept saying it wanted to be the featured one today.

Today’s Picture to Ponder will be brief. I am on an extra-tight schedule and yet feel the commitment to get out the weekly issue of Picture to Ponder. Have a great and inspiring weekend.

From time to time in Picture to Ponder, I’ve mentioned being in a weekly writing group where we each write for four minutes on prompts from quotes. On occasion we’ll use one of my photographs. It’s amazing what can be written in that short amount of time. Yesterday, I came across something I wrote a few weeks ago and thought it would be a great for today’s issue of Picture to Ponder.
“You are the laboratory and every day is the experiment. Go and find what is new and unexpected.” Joel Elkes.
My response follows
Today’s Picture to Ponder Photo, a dramatic, surprise discovery which brought me joy.

Today’s photos were taken with my iPhone. Each was enhanced with one or two iPhone FX Photo Studio applications, along with slight Photoshop Elements touch-ups.
Before checking to see what the subjects are, if you are not sure, please take a moment or two to simply be with them, noticing what, if anything, appeals to you. [click to continue…]

Fairly early this morning, my attention was caught by dew drops caught in the plantlets of a mother-of-millions plant. Given the photographs I took were not that aesthetically pleasing I went looking for other “dew-drop” photo opportunities. (Note – If you wish, you can see the plant on M-O-M Plant.)
The drops on the banana plant leaf shown below caught my eye. Looking at the photograph after I downloaded it into my computer brought, and brings, me peace. I thus decided to feature it in this issue of Picture to Ponder.
I’m wondering, “Do you get a similar feeling?”

Once again, “shifting perspectives” is the theme that came up from the photographs wanting to be shared today. They photographs were taken while walking in a local nursery. Explanations and comments are directly under each photograph.

During my recent family visit to GA, I was captivated by the rose set in a bowl on the kitchen window sill below.

Today’s photographs once again point out what’s possible by changing focus and shifting perspectives. Even the slightest change can make a difference.

Today’s issue of Picture to Ponder is striving for simplicity, thus one photo. I am in the process of redesigning my business and evaluating where I’ve been spending my time.
I started adding two additional photographs in this issue. Then I looked again at this photo. In its quiet, there is a lot of depth and movement. So I invite you to simply “be” with it for a moment or two or more.
If you enjoy writing, I invite you to use it for a writing prompt and share your writing on the blog.

Self-Reflecting Queries -
I generally spend three to four hours per issue of Picture to Ponder, in picture selection, idea formulation and writing. So needless to say each of the components are a part of my “queries” process. [click to continue…]
