June Wild Card submission from Virginia

Ralph's submission and its subject drove me back into my folders to find this one, which I took at the San Francisco's Exploratorium last year. This was one of the mirrors in the Reflections exhibit, and it breaks the image into 1000 pieces. Talk about a feeling feeling of fragmentation, disjointedness, and discombobulation. But I think this image is very much about life. We are the sum of our parts, aren't we? All the little bits and pieces of form, matter, and energy -- pulled into a thousand pieces in this world of so much stimuli, so much knowledge, so much responsibility. Yet there seems to be infinite power when the pieces come together and line up to form...you. Perhaps there is magic to be found in that.

Mirror Mirror Wild Card Submission: June

I was on the way to the dance studio in Sausalito and sitting at a light getting ready to take a left turn. These beautiful, pink grasses were in the median, waving in the breeze. I had to take a picture of them, they were so soft and luscious looking! When I got home and uploaded them, I realized that I had unintentionally put myself in the photo! I am so serious looking -- so focused on getting the picture that my tongue is pressing into the inside of my cheek. I didn't know I did that -- Horrors! My grandfather used to do that when he was focusing on something...like planing a piece of wood, or rototilling the garden plot, or cutting the grass. Maybe I got that from him! I also like that the photo is sideways. So here's my Mirror Mirror Wild Card for the month of June!
