01.15.2020-2 On the wings of a rose

Posted on January 15, 2020 by Steve Gingold

I have to give credit to a friend who saw this as a bird.  I had posted it in portrait orientation and she had to turn her head to see it flying. 🙂

Evidence of my lack of imagination.

    I see it more as a bat than a bird. Some might say that’s evidence of how batty I am. Others might extend that to all of us nature photographers.

    I’d say your skills rose to the occasion with this one.

    I disagree – not seeing something as something else isn’t evidence of a lack of imagination. I’m being picky here, but I think there are many types of minds and many ways of seeing, and the quality we call imagination is much bigger than we might think. (And I like it both ways).

      Either way I like also. I joke about my lack of imagination because, for the most part, I don’t see the things that others do. But often others don’t see what I do so we’re all even. 🙂 As I just mentioned to Michael above, I’ll be looking for ways to add a little newness to my seeing and expressing what I see but I do know what I like to be doing and I also know that I like what I see others doing but don’t always feel drawn to be influenced by them. That said, I am constantly learning from most all the folks whose blogs I follow and who articulate to some degree what their goal is. Learning is and should be a lifelong quest.

        The remark about liking what you see others doing but not necessarily being interested in being influenced by that is a good distinction to make. I think learning is constant too, and it’s a big part of the pleasure of this blogging business. 😉

    Evidence of my wasted youth – I see a paper airplane…
