Perceptions of a view

When we look out into our life, what do we see? The beauty that is there? The rain that is falling? Things to be afraid of? Something that might end up being fun? This is a picture I took last Friday. It is set in a beautiful garden, like our creation. It was raining at the time, but not hard and not for long, like most weather conditions here in Miami, Florida. Weather is always changing, like most circumstances in our lives. We just do not know when or to what. Even forecasters are never sure and are often wrong. We were wondering if it was going to rain harder or continue through our visit. After I took this picture, the rain stopped and it got a bit sunny and a little warmer. Is this a real monster? It is really a work of art on display for fun at Fairchild Gardens and it has been considered the most fun by children there, although not the most beautiful, by far. Can we look at our lives like children, eyes wide open to possibilities? Certainly, some things make us unhappy or even afraid, but things are always changing, things are often not what we think they are or result in what we fear, and there are always other things to focus on that we can enjoy and laugh at. Wishing you laughter and joy! Dee
