AND LEARNING TO TAKE PHOTOS
I noticed that the images that I liked fall into patterns.
In an effort to group them together, to learn I started creating galleries under the different themes.
I hope you like the the galleries !
I would put the themes of the galleries, in clusters together but I do not think that is possible with the flicker programme.

I am am trained to observe patterns and difference to be reflective..The strength of light and dark is profound in its contrasting beauty.
The joy and vibrance of colour is nourishing for me.
As some of what I deal with, is often cruel, harsh and demanding.
So the delicate texture of petals brings an awe of life and renewal.
As nurse we are "ladies of the lamp" so the power of light is a reminder of the threads of light that off sets despair and creates vision and hope.
Greyness has the soft patterna of rain, a time of cleansing and soft kind light.
Boundaries define relationships hold some people together and close others out, They define what is let in, what is closed out and when! Walls and doors, openings and closures that mark change and difference.
Contrast solidifies the other...its, shapes and positions.

The curved line reminds us of the beauty of the detour, the unexpected, yet these lines have harmony. When we are dealing with a curved ball it certainly does not feels like that.

It is difference, that brings new ideas and change to hurting stagnant relations In my work as a therapist and time to reflect IS important.. plus an appreciation of beauty and to hold the wonder of tenderness and beauty, to appreciate the the wonder of life.
So, these are the themes I gravitate to ......
