Look Again

I've loved the little dialogue in comment section of the "What I Saw" post.  Lou's words of encouragement made me smile and Mary saw something other than the heart.  Her seeing a little guy reaching for a hug prompted Kathy and me to look again at the photo of the woods.  I had to look a third time before I actually saw it...but sure enough...there he was at the base of a tree reaching for a hug.  I'm not even sure I was seeing the same little guy....there are actually two spots I could conjure him up. But it doesn't matter. Both Kathy and I looked again....and sometimes that's when the magic happens.  

And maybe the magic was actually in this conversation about our delight in the looking!

Look.  Then look again. 

I was drawn to a garden on our morning walk yesterday and a patch of strawflowers captured my heart. This particular bloom took my breath away....I couldn't love it more.

I knew I would be going back to keep an eye on the unfurling. But once this dialog happened this morning about looking again....I knew I had to go back today and spend more time with the strawflowers on Abby Lane.  

I was blown away at the changes in just one day. I'll share more once I sort through the photos. I'm so glad I looked again...magic HAD happened.  And I know I'll be looking again and again.
