What state of mind
What state of mind
The photo prompt this week from The Daily Post was State of mind. We are to use a photo that shows what state of mind we are in. This was a hard one to think about. Then when I was looking through all my photos from Death Valley, I saw this one. It’s a desert five spot that is tightly wound, and ready to bloom.
So am I tightly wound, or ready to bloom?
Both I suppose. Being in Utah makes me tightly wound, for sure. As I write this, we are outside St. George, Utah in the middle of nowhere. We are just putting off the inevitable trip to Utah County were Al still has his shop. There are too many people there, too much noise, too many houses, and nothing to photograph. Because there is absolutely nowhere to park an RV in Utah county, we end up parking in Al’s, mom’s driveway. She is a wonderful person, but she does not live in a great place. So we are dragging our feet a little bit. Trying to get acclimated to Utah again, and all the people. On the plus side, I get to see my youngest son that I haven’t seen for 2 years. He left LA were he was a chef, and kinda got stalled in Utah for a bit. So Yeah!! I get to see both my boys, what a treat that will be.
But what about ready to bloom? You never know.
This week for the Dogwood 52 week challenge, it was all about shadow. I took this photo the other day at Valley of Fire. And yes, I will be having so many more photos of that magical place too.
I liked the shadows in all the colors. The way the rock forms there is amazing.
Have you ever thought about what kind of photo would represent your state of mind?
What a FABULOUS prompt, Mary, and that last photo especially with the rock formation and blue sky….if anything, a great photo can put me in a state of mind. I have to think about this prompt; I have to apply this to a poem AND a photo! Have a super first of March! Anita
Yes Anita, I bet you can create something great.
Me too! Tightly wound and ready to bloom!But no photo to represent it.
Have a fabulous time with your sons, and I hope you survive Utah sanity intact. :)
Lori you can borrow my photo because it is perfect for you.
Love the red rock formation! And budding flowers!
That is a beautiful part of the country, Mary! So glad you get to see both of your sons. :)
I’m pretty jazzed about seeing my boys and spending time with them. And making the chef cook for me. LOl
I’m looking forward to seeing more pics from the Valley of Fire; I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never even heard of it. That rock looks like a great surfing wave curling at the beach LOL! I’m glad you’ll be able to see your sons – at least there’s a good strong silver lining to being in Utah County!
You guessed it exactly with the rock formation. It looked just like a wave and I took several photos from all angles. My boys are for sure the silver lining.
Actually, the way Mom takes and uses photos says a lot about her state of mind. If she is feeling great, everything is real orderly, but if she is not happy, or upset, things are chaotic and the orderly look is gone. She realized this a few years ago when she was posting things for real estate. Usually all the listing had a certain orderly look, but on days where she wasn’t her happy self, they were all mixed up.
Never thought about it. It would probably be something crazy, with lots of colors and hard to distinguish shapes, because my mind refuses to stop. :-(
