Scenes of a play, scenic views. Our FMF host Kate wrote about scenes of our lives. You could take a very long view from conception through death, though we live more intently and intentionally in scenes from the mini- and micro-acts of everyday life. Weekday or workday mornings, departures, workplace or school time, back home with relaxation, family, chores, sleep, and then we get up and do it all over again, amen. Days off, weekends. and holidays provide variations on the basic theme.
Does my love of art and photography make me more likely to imagine a scene as a view outside of myself rather than one that's an intrinsic part of me? I want to photograph, to sketch, to recreate with watercolor an urban street scene. A farm or a flower-filled garden scene. Can you picture traveling up the central coast with ocean the scene to our left, vineyard scenes to the right? Whenever time and schedules allow, we love to take that scenic route. Scenic views take us out of our mundane daily ones and help us imagine a different future.
Where have you been recently? What scenes have you seen? Which ones do you remember and hope to act on? My header scene comes from an early September 2023 community garden workday. My top footer square is a scene in downtown Los Angeles on a cloudy May Grey weekday.
we recently went up north for camping. the scenery was just lovely. FMF14
ReplyDeleteYour lovely garden photos remind me of the orange crocosmia flowering along the coast where we live. We're blessed with fabulous scenes straight out of our window and when go walking.

Both are beautiful scenes, in very different ways. I love how we can find beauty in so many different places. We were out hiking in the woods earlier today - after I helped assemble meals and then deliver them in the city. Very different scenes, but beautiful. Visiting from FMF#12
ReplyDeleteMy friend shared some scenes/photographs from her recent trip to Bar Harbor which were stunningly beautiful. Those types of scenes always point my thoughts to our Creator and Heavenly Father!
ReplyDeleteso many ways to think of scenes - and lots of scenery to enjoy. Thank you. Dawn #20
