An indoor play place is home to countless images that hide amidst the kaleidoscopic colors of the equipment and the blurred energy of the children who scamper in every conceivable direction.
While waiting for my own little people to make their appearance from inside the maze, I somehow fixated on this. As their little hands grabbed at the blue rope on their way out, they hardly paused as they waved at me before running back into another entranceway.
Your turn: The next time you head to the park - indoors or out - take a minute or two to look closer than you usually would. You might like what you see. I do hope you'll consider capturing a photo of it and posting it online.
I promise to bring the camera with me when I take the dogs for their evening w-a-l-k. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
I did this yesterday when walking the beach. I looked closely at the sand on the shore and saw a whole different world, and felt like I was "on" something. We usually don't look deep enough.
ReplyDeleteMy camera is my constant companion and oodles of photos the result.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment is when looking through the photos and finding something I didn't know was there.
Gifts are always present - I love the knotting in the blue of the net you posted - thanks!

I'm sure somebody once said, "It's the little things that count." Nice eye, Carmi with an "m" (I scrolled down a bit).
ReplyDeleteI'm here from Michele's.
Playground equipment really does have interesting visual features--probably because the attention spans of the folks using it is short and sweet (including we adults who occassionally end up there).
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by this morning.

Beautiful Post! We should all take more time looking at our surroundings, listening to the sounds of life, and breathing in the life that is in the air around us!
ReplyDeleteHi from Michele!
Cool, but I don't think my camera is good enough to capture those kind of angles. We'll give it a try.
ReplyDeleteHi, there! Followed you home from Michele's- ; )
ReplyDeleteVery cool photo and food for thought.
Hmmm... I see we have another lu in our midst.

I will have to do that ..Love your place as always ..Your view is always intriguing to me :) I will let you know when I post a pic ...Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by my place .
ReplyDeleteOK...I have come back to this photo a dozen times, but my aging, need-bifocal eyes can't make it out. WHAT IS IT???!!!?!?! Tell me before I go blind (er)!
ReplyDeleteHi guys. This is a crop of a larger picture of a fabric-rope bridge on an indoor playground here in London. The rest of the apparatus is fairly humdrum, but I honed in on the pattern of the rope-weave that keeps the little folks from falling off.
ReplyDeleteI took it in the middle of one of those long periods of quiet when I know they're SOMEWHERE inside the thing, but I'm not quite sure precisely where.
So while standing idly by with the other parents, I pulled out my camera and thought I'd occupy myself. As usual, I got weird stares from the other parents. Most of them didn't really know me. The couple of parents there who already knew my shtick gave me a knowing smile and asked me to send them the pictures when I was done. Bless them.
