Day 141 of Wonder

After 140 days of writing and sharing about wonder, I've started to wonder what's next. I still love the process of opening myself up to wonder, but fear that I've started to lose the ability to see and share something new. Something fresh. Something different. I'm drawn magically to nature and all its diversity and yet start to forget if I've already shared flowers too much, or forest, or fields or just a view. So, this daily wonder project will start to contain a slightly new aspect. My reflection on wonder will become more personal. Not just the object of wonder, but my journey towards that wonder. After all, this has always been a personal project that I'm sharing with the wider world. It's about allowing wonder to become a daily focus. Of opening myself to seeing the world through different eyes, ears, heart and soul. Engaging all the senses, not only the visual. Photography and writing are the perfect medium for the internet but are not the only ways of experiencing wonder.

I've had a lot of fun playing around with this simple image to create a picture that is slightly unreal. Sometimes the pictures I take startle me when I see them on the big screen. The colours and detail are simply stunning. Other-times I feel the restrictions my simple point and shoot smartphone camera has. After playing around with this slightly blurred picture, I've fallen in love with it all over again. Life is not about perfection. Life is creativity. Life is doing something with what we have.
