Foreground/Background

It's not always what's up front and center that's most interesting.

This female Autumn Meadowhawk, for example, warming and waiting in early morning, content to let me approach as close as I wished -- I thought she was alluring.

Till I got home.

Then, the background exploded into a mesmerizing scintillation of leaf and limb and sky and shadow.


Distracted by appointments, household chores, today's errands, the aches and pains of everyday living, I want to remember this: look again, look beyond, where something beautiful just might unfold.
