Something drew me to take a picture of our White Birch’s fallen limb every day, but I couldn’t figure out why.
Photography is like that, sometimes the camera has a mind of its own and leads rather than follows.
The other night, I dreamt about this limb; it was a friendly sea creature swimming towards me out of curiosity and perhaps concern.
It wasn’t a nightmare; I never felt I was in danger. But I realized the limb did look a lot like a sea creature heading toward me with it’s mouth open, either in smile or hunger. Now I know why I took the picture; the image touched the monster in me and in many of my dreams.
Sometimes I see a genial whale coming to say hello. Sometimes I think I’m about to be some monster’s lunch.
I wonder if the image touched the monster in anyone else?
studied your yesterdays smaller pic of this limb……..but with this pic above today it became clear to me! It’s a Baleen whale…..opening its mouth to filter krill and plankton. Clear as day HA! Love it. Everyone will see *something* which makes it so interesting!

Love this pic – my eye sees a dragon in this close shot. In the previous distance pic I immediately saw a gecko. It’s truly fascinating to learn what each person sees and if it differs in the close vs distance image… Have to wonder if what we each see offers any insights into our minds or thought process? lol. Sure is a creative new adventure Jon (aka ‘do you see what I see’ or ‘do you see something else’? Happy, thought provoking and fun 🙂
Guess I am not as creative to picture anything ….it is just beautiful ! Thanks for sharing!
