Here are some summertime flowers reflected in the dull and dirty mirrored glass of the arcade at Ocean Beach Park. I like this photo, though it's far from good. It reminds me things are not always what they appear and it's better to look on from afar, to play gently with what you see rather than be played by it.

Golden words. Very aptly said.
ReplyDeleteThe beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Very wise words. I really like this photo, the colors are great and the blur gives it a surreal look.

Your message is so appropriate with the nice framing of your shot, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteFlowers always cheer me up!
your words and association of ideas are so true ......!!
ReplyDeleteI love this photograph. I think the way it was shot through the window gives it a dreamy quality. I would have guessed fog if you hadn't told us what it was. Wonderful words too.
ReplyDeleteEntice, it does from afar
ReplyDeleteTouch and you know, its fire
Thought provoking words Sandy. Have a great Sunday.
loving the angle and combo sandy
ReplyDeleteLove it! Sometimes creativity brings out good results!
ReplyDeleteWell said, and I like the photo too!
ReplyDeleteTrue words, i liked it that way too...from a different POV.
ReplyDeleteLove the mystery and softness of the photo.
ReplyDeleteWe agree! A flower is always beautiful anyway, anywhere, anytime you look at it...and mostly when the looker is happy!

Actually things are not always what they seem! But I liked the photo, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteGood week for you, dear.
I really like it too. It's like a Monet painting.

It's Sunday - Do You Know Where You Are?
You know what, it looks to me that you dreamed of summer flowers, and somehow managed to take your camera with you. What a beautiful post for a grey November day!!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is already yesterday,
ReplyDeletegently, through ...
Magnificent!
I agree, Sandy. Also in the photography it's better to "create" the image, to try putting in it our feelings and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI like this picture too. I am attracted to the "vanishing" look.
ReplyDeleteStill, the strong yellow calls out, come!
your reality is my imagination
ReplyDeleteor what yousee I do mot get so I make it my reakity
Nicely captured and well said!
ReplyDeleteNothing is how it seems....... but I like the photo. I had that yellow flower in my garden flowering until quite recently.

Wise words, Sandy. I like the perspective through the dirty mirrored glass.
ReplyDeletegreat photo and very well said. I love always reading your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThere are times, especially if it's the right person, I don't mind being played. But I get your point!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo Sandy and a great title.
ReplyDeletebeautifully put!
ReplyDeleteand lovely photo!
I wouldn't call it "far from good" at all. Sometimes it just is what it is.
ReplyDeleteSandy: Very interesting to look from a different perspective.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing some wonderful things with your camera lately. They are all pretty but recently you seem to add a new dimension of creativity to your work. Great job, Sandy!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind seeing them through glass. It gives it a rainy feeling.
ReplyDeletelovely pic with an inspiring message.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so well as always Sandy...love the way you are... Thanks for the usual visit ...It is indeed a blessing..God bless...
ReplyDeleteI love the way you see and think. As so often, both are beautifully apparent in this post.
ReplyDeleteEchinacea and Phlox. Fantastic together.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot.
Thanks for visiting me too
Have a nice day
Gunilla
those are healthy and beneficial flowers. thanks for dropping by. (",)
ReplyDeleteOne can never be too cautious by taking things as they appear rather than as you might want to see them.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy--
ReplyDeleteA little filter is a good thing...and, like Amias, I don't mind being played a little, but it has to be a mutual thing!
Love to you-and I really like your creative poem for OSI, just re-read it. Going further into that darkness is the only way, eventually...
Excellent advice .. and a sad but interesting perspective on the reflection
ReplyDeleteNice catch Sandy, the dull and dirty glass gives a lovely softening fog effect.
ReplyDelete"To play gently with what you see rather than be played by it." Yes, that's the trick, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
