Details in the Background

detail

I didn’t even notice this little guy until I saw him through the lens. I’ve walked past this plant a dozen times, but on this day, I happened to have my camera and was shooting random things for the fun of it.

I saw something, this little detail against the green backdrop of leaves, jump out once I changed my perspective. How many times could we benefit from a change of perspective — viewing something ordinary we take for granted or don’t see at all, and look with a new lens, a different point of view. Who knows what we’ll see.

apparently “trump’s hair” is a photo filter

I was playing around with the filters in the Dreamscope App. I think this one, Starry Nights, is pretty:

Then I took this week’s photo challenge and ran it through the Ink on Parchment filter:

trumpAnd then I discovered a filter named Trump’s Hair.

I had to do it.

I mean, seriously. Wouldn’t you?

Wouldn’t you?

 

Here it is. Not bad, huh?

the future is now

This week’s photo challenge asks me to look to the future.

I can do that — I mean, right now in my life I’m all about planning. I have a million things to do. I don’t have a million hours in the day to do them. What’s worse, the 24 hours I do have seem to be taken up with minutiae that distracts me from the things I plan to do.

If I am focused on what I’m going to do, maybe I’m not doing what I need to be doing in the now.

 

So right now, I need to fill up those pages.
