What Matters

I remind myself constantly:
Take notice
Look carefully
Watch
What I'm seeing won't happen again in precisely this way. Does that matter? 
Well, if too many moments slip by unaware - 
Yes, it does. 
At least, it matters to me.

    I try to remember that too, Barb. It's so easy for one day to slip into the next without stopping to really notice the little things. Great message. :)

    Oh my, you couldn't have said anything that resonated more strongly with me. I agree!

    And, that's a truly beautiful photo.

    You're right! Our life is made up of these moments.. if we let them slip away, then we let our lives slip away too.

    It matters to me, too. I think we all need to keep nudging one another and reminding ourselves...lest we forget. Before we know it the moon will disappear and then re-emerge and show itself in its thousand and one faces. Never the same.

    And to me. Another thought provoking post, Barb. I love the colors in this shot. Our birches are taking on a red hue, too.

    Good reminder to always pay attention, or the good and beautiful can pass us by. Lovely photo of the moon perfectly framed by the tree branches.

    Seems like you could read my innermost thoughts. Exactly what I think when I go out there and see nature.

    Just surreal photography... So very well captured!
    And yes we must not let the moment slip by, otherwise we may rue later on...
    Have a great day:)
