'You See ~ I See' with today's 'Color Challenge' of Monday Red.

Also touching upon a 'Beautiful Day' with lots of 'Magical Moments.'

You See:

  • Three bright red flowers.
  • Arranged so as to be close together.

Which might remind you of:

  • Closeness. Connectedness. Unity.
  • Family and friends. Community and Country.

I See:

  • Separated from their sword formation, each individual gladiolia florette can be absolutely stunning.
  • As a young child, in our formative years, we break away from our origins, in our attempt to discover who we are as unique human beings.
  • The need to explore. To find my unique expression. To acquire an understanding of my life's purpose.

I See:

  • The wish to know more about my earthly ancestry now.
  • The wish to re-connect and bond more deeply with family and friends.
  • The warmth of unconditional love: For family and friends. Community and nation. Planet and Stars.

Often when I use the format 'You See ~ I See' I may start off with one idea or theme, and then that mysterious 'something else' comes along. And this time it reminded me of a beautiful day I had spent with a relative a few years ago.

To me continued as my first 'Beautiful Day' with lots of 'Magical Moments.'

I so love this! What a wonderful way of putting it! A very clever post!

Upped and Steemed

Thanks so very much @dswigle.

I love sharing my work at Steemit. I start of with an image or set of images I'd like to share. And then considering the communities I'm about to share with: Quotes and ideas connect to the images, and then words just seem to flow of their own accord. Like a gigantic jigsaw puzzle ~ All the pieces, magically come together.

A new format that may appeal to you is You See ~ I See. For me this format has enabled inspiration to really flow.

You are also most welcome to share any of your own magical moments at Magical Moments 🐬🌹🐬

Love this!!

So pleased these simple images appeal to you Melinda.

You may not have heard of one of Australia's most endeared Dames: Dame Edna Everage: A character created and performed by Barry Humphries. Along with her violet hair, cat's eye glasses and outrageously witty and satirical comments ~ She loved her 'gladdies.'

Which of course was a jibe at the Aussie housewife.

But viewed as separate 'flowerettes' they take on a different beauty again.

Many magical moments came as this post was being created. Wasn't really my intention when I first set out to share these red gladiolus to move into my wish to learn and connect more with my earthly ancestry.

Wonderful things 'happen' when using the 'You See ~ I See' format.

Voted and resteemed.
