Collection of my 'You See ~ I See' articles.

Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't.
And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be.
And what it wouldn't be, it would.
You see?
~Lewis Carroll.

I knew who I was this morning.
But I've changed a few times since then.

You may be asking: What IS 'You See ~ I See?'

To start with 'You See ~ I See' isn't a challenge or contest. However, from my experience now, I can say that it definitely will 'challenge' your perception.

Entering into this activity can transform what you may have felt was quite 'ordinary' in your own life or surrounding environment into something that becomes fresh and alive once again.

The details of 'You See ~ I See' can be found in @marillaanne's post:
The Description and Story of "You See, I See" and how it became #useeisee

If you would like to share one of your own 'You See ~ I See' articles, simply use the tag #useeisee as one of your five tags.

How many angels can dance on the head of flowers?
Love the angel and flowers.

Unimaginable and inconceivable figures @joeyarnoldvn.
How many stars are in the sky?
The enigma of the Angelic Kingdom ~ Always a mystery.

You are hereby invited to join 'You See ~ I See.' Hope to see you there sometime.

Reminds me of a Peach Letter for Mario. I love invitations.
But then Bowser comes.

I asked my good friend, the Wizard of Oz if he could 'see' Peach and where she was right now.

Stellar news: She's quite safe at the moment, back at the castle, which has now been surrounded by some extra loving protection.

So the invitation still stands Joey, and I'd really love to see the slant you could bring to #useeisee. @joeyarnoldvn 🐋🙏🐋

I should probably go look at that then. Thanks.
The witches of Oz would know.

Ah yes. The Witches of Oz are amazing too. Anything you need to know, if they don't already know, they have their ways of finding out. Cheers Joey 🐋🍷🐋

I might come. You might be Peach.

You never know Joey. Just might be.

Seeing as how you love invitations, I have two more for you now.

A few days ago I announcing the birth of my own 'collective' (a non-challenge) called MagicalMoments. ~ Where you can share any of your own 'Magical Moments' by using #magicalmoments as one of your five tags.

And Barbara at @barbara-orenya has also started BeautifulDay which is very much akin and in harmony with Magical Moments. If you wish to share any of your own 'Beautiful Days' just use #beautifulday as one of your five tags.

Magical Moments

Ally, your art works always just blow me away! Can you reallly just walk out and find all these beautiful blossoms and elements?

I'm so glad you're enjoying the #useeisee tag. I used it last night to explain myself out of a corner I wrote myself into. It's very handy, practically and artistically.

Finally got a grand total of about $90 Steem Power out of my "big" post. So, I'm setting out to drop .06 on you instead of 0.03 :-/

Oh well ... onward!

Thanks so much Marilla. Sure can. I live in a suburb of Sydney called Roseville ~ Which lives true to the name. There are a few public spaces and a few gardens where I have permission to pick the roses there. The white ones: Grow in so much abundance. Not their time at the moment but when they come into bloom again I must take and share some photographs of the actual gardens.

I LOVE #useeisee and have found it to be an inspirational ~ In the true sense of the word ~ Concept and format to work with.

Using #useeisee has inspired me to go deeper into the recall of what may have been happening while photographing ~ Or just being somewhere about to photograph. It can trigger memories that get hidden in the passage of time. Makes me marvel at this gift of 'mind' that we have ~ When used in a beneficial way.

Was so pleased that your post on Second Life received so much favorable attention, as it really was A1. Just shows us what's possible here at Steemit. @marillaanne 🐋🙏🐋

Interesting arrangement of flowers. Are they sitting on little logs? Looks very cute.

Thanks so much @molometer. This was a relatively very simple arrangement compared to the final stages ~ Which I hope to show tomorrow for #MondayRed and #MagicalMoments.

In many of my arrangements I use underlying symbols and I also play with numbers.

In this work, I started with 6 roses ~ In the form of 'The Star of David.' But then added an extra 2 roses and so it seems like its a simple circle now. Each rose was balanced on 3 small irregularly shaped rocks.

But looking at it now I can see how you could think they are little logs. An idea for next time now as I love and collect small branches covered with lichen.

There is symmetry in this design and now you mention it there is a lot of beauty in lichen. It's like a world in itself. I have some video of lichen I filmed a few weeks ago. It is incredibly detailed when you get up close.

Worlds within Worlds in lichens and mosses. Perhaps you will share your video on lichen sometime? Would love to see it @molometer. 🌿🙏🌿

I'll upload it sometime but I must let you know that I filmed it just before it was all jet washed away. Shame. I actually really liked it as it was.

Lewis Carroll is one of my favourite authors. Thanks for the quotes and photo

Pleasure and thanks so much @snooway. Lewis Carroll's stories, I found quite difficult to read as a kid. Admire and love his writings far more now. 🐋🌿🐋
