Between meetings today, I was able to stroll through the Boston Public Gardens. As I rested in the shade of a willow tree by the pond, mallards waddled by on land while a majestic white swan glided by on the water. My hands were busy stuffing lemon ice down my throat (so hot here!). By the time my hands were free, all that was left in my vicinity were feathers.
Vertical Symmetry

Recently Steve shared pictures from a trip abroad. Dreamy images of a Canadian landscape with narrow strips of land separating sky and water. Beautiful images to be sure, but what made them truly fascinating was Steve’s perspective as he shared them. He suggested in terms of their display the images should be rotated 90 degrees thus highlighting what he had been trying to capture — the reflection of the landscape in (often) still waters creating perfect symmetry, i.e. use the vertical line, not the horizontal, to heighten the viewer’s experience of the reflection. See what you think. 😉
I must admit, as I viewed some of these images at their new orientation, I began to “see” complex and rich structures that had nothing to do with their actual subject matter (trees, water, sky). I especially thought of the green man in the woods figure with this one.
What do you see?

A single plant. Several stages of development. An unexpected find in a local park while out for a stroll.

I have a good friend who is working on assignment out west near the Grand Canyon. Occasionally, she will call in to describe the wildlife that she is seeing at dusk and dawn and all hours in between. This morning she left a message about five large elk silhouetted against the evening sky. Later, as I went through my image archives, I found myself being particularly drawn to those subjects cast in shadow. Here are a few that jumped out at me.
