Outstanding image! I love how we look up at the tree but from a puddle’s point of view. I think a person could make a series of paintings of such reflections. Looking at things indirectly gives us a new and objective perspective. Thanks for the image Heather!

I love this and feel connected. I search for reflections and reflections of reflections in everything and anywhere to photograph. That is where other worlds of magic and mystery are found.
"Looking at things indirectly" was the topic of a horse blog post I read this week, as in "don't stare like a predator; rather, see things from your horse's prey animal point of view." Both posts are illuminating. Thanks, Brandy, for yours!
“Eyes in front - like to hunt. Eyes on the side, need to hide”. Probably not an old African proverb, but surely true when you think about the animal world. I think the ability to always be looking - front and side - is enriching.
Or from the other day's DailyOm contemplation, "The Insect Kingdom
As we work together with the insect kingdom, we allow ourselves to be in harmony with the earth and the pulse of nature. . ." 3 paragraphs., another perspective.
I walk many dogs in a given week. The other day I decided to walk backwards. It was quite fun and a challenge, for sure. The dog at hand looked at me quite inquisitively? Like “What???”
The puddle perspective picture (great!) aside, thank you Heather, for adding context to so many stories and offering us all a diversity of ways to look at things, helping us to make sense of the nonsense around us. Though not the religious sort myself, I would offer this (King James) New Testament verse (Hebrews 11:3) about our world: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." A change of perspective can indeed change our knowledge and interpretation of ... "truth". When can killing ever be condoned? When is the use of cluster munitions a moral decision? And abortion? Pick your own eternal truth and look at it through another prism; choose your own - studied - frame for reality.

Ah, you are a painter. Your description of seeing excited me, so I read your profile. Thank you.

Like that proverb, whoever first said it. I use my peripheral skills lots but need my fronts to lip read sometimes! Thanks, Betsy.

I love the idea of being in harmony with the earth and all her pulses...Morning, Sandra!
Lynell, I just read your post after commenting on Bryan’s. Maybe take a look.
I'll try to find it, thanks, Bonnie!
Really appreciate all your comments, Bryan.

I was on a meandering road in a small town where I live in Maine.
