Re-Imaging

“The bird who dares to fall is the bird who learns to fly.” - Anonymous
   
There's a lot of chirping going on lately. Every bird seems to have something to say. The zeal in their songs amid the flurried whisk of their feathers inspire us to imagine a reality where we, too, can fly. Do slugs or bears long to escape to the skies? This is a human trait. We are the species of creative thinkers; our aspirations are high.   
     
Each mind is a treasure box where we pick and choose from our thoughts. Knowing that life on the surface is not the full story or indicative of our full potential, we expand the possibilities through the marvels of math, art, science and more.

I recently walked about re-imagining the tones, textures and portals that can be hidden from the human eye. Although all scenes originate from my camera, a few show how I envisioned them during this Easter season of transformation

Above, I saw a wild tangle of torn trees. The rock (below) appeared like a skull at the side of the road in the early morning dark. 

Crescent Beach was mostly empty in the morning mist. Even the gulls seemed asleep. 

A rabbit camouflaged extremely well. 

Another rabbit was a doorstop. 

A daring little girl (below) did a marvelous balancing act. 

A home with heart displayed holiday decorations.

The door was very welcoming, indeed, although few people knock during Covid. 

Dreamy hues seeped into daylight at Kwomais Park. Willow branches, barely green, were just beginning the way imaginations do when re-awakened by spring.

  1. Hello,

    I am hearing a lot of birds singing now too, they are calling for their mates. Neat capture of the Heron with the mouthful of fish. The hearts are pretty yard art. I love the cute bunny. Your words are inspiring, great post. Take care, wishing you a great new week!

  3. That does look like a skull! The birds are back, checking out the real estate, as in birdhouses.

  4. Yes, the birds here are quite active as well - singing away their beautiful songs of Spring... I love hearing them sing their delightful songs...

    " knowing that life on the surface is not the full story..." Indeed! :)

    Love your re-imaging photos :)

  5. Birdsong — the beautiful background music of Spring! ... That pretty door is lovely and welcoming, but it does seem like door-knock visits are only something that used to happen in “the olden days.”

  10. I think that people attuned to the natural world use their eyes in a completely different fashion from those who don't. There is so much to be discovered and the possibilities are endless. And that's a good thing!

  11. I love this post. More of us need to do more reimagining and less barking at each other on social media.

  13. Maria - so well written, and with the photos to match. I think most of us would rather be a bird than a slug or an elephant! Enjoy your Easter weekend!

  14. Your posts are always inspirational and make me stop to think. The quote and your narrative reminded me of a Japanese picture book “Fly, grasshopper!” which I presented to my grandson. It is a powerful picture book in which a grasshopper, hiding in a bush to protect himself from natural enemies and forgetting he has wings, decides to fly toward the sky to set him free. The photos tell something and the editing gives new vision to see things.
