Seeing

Maery Rose

Have you ever looked through your camera lens and seen something you’ve never noticed before?

Have you ever looked back at your life and seen a you that you didn’t expect, a new angle come to light?

I see the humor in a tongue flick and smile. A dog’s version of bunny ears perhaps?

I see the mystery in clouds floating on water and feel dreams rising to the surface.

I see the stark bravado of a tree standing alone in a field of grass and stand a little bit straighter myself.

I see these things and am very glad that I stopped to notice.

I took Luke to the park this morning. This time it’s Luke that has the happy feet. I’m not sure why I went with the lime green wraps. I think it was another one of those color purchases where I was thinking about being visible to hunters and not being mistaken for a deer. I…

  2. Stunning photography Maery! And yes, there are so many times when I’ll see something in a different light. It’s the stopping and changing the direction of my head..or internally when I think about what has been said and put it in a different context. AND…when I first viewed your link to this post on facebook…the first photograph looks like the shadow of a bear…coming here and actually looking at the photographs made me smile…
