Limitations of Sight

Yesterday morning as I was driving to work, I had to be extra cautious as a thick fog had enveloped the area. As the road continued to curve, I came upon a section where I knew from previous experience that the trees divided, allowing a brief but beautiful glimpse into the river valley below. And this got me to thinking – if I had never driven this road before in other conditions, I would miss seeing what lies beyond the fog and mist and never get to experience all the beauty that otherwise is offered.

And the worst thought of all – what else have I missed in my life due to “fog”? ...

Next time I'll be better prepared. But it's all part of the learning process!

I enjoyed the photos of your gallery showing. My favorite photo is the one at the very top of your post. Just lovely! How did your framing experience go? Sorry I didn't see your question on framing tips. I used to work for a great photographer in NH, and one of my duties was to help fill in for framing during the Christmas season.

Getting a coach, reading, and being around children all open our eyes to see the world around us in new perspectives.

Thanks for the post, and let us know how your first showing went!

So foolish of us to neglect all the wonderful things that God gave us. Nice to take time to appreciate everything before it's gone.

Comment by Lesley Sobeck on September 24, 2012 at 6:15am: Thank you! It's an area I plan to be more conscious of for sure.

Comment by Ann Musico on September 24, 2012 at 5:10am: Lesley that was beautifully insightful - so very true. Our perception of people or circumstances is our reality - but if our perception is "foggy" for whatever reason - we are not seeing clearly or truly! Great post.
