sunshine, 2 /52 photos project, perception

pier at friday harbor on san juan island
2/52, sunshine

Perception
- the ability to become aware of something through the senses
- the state of that awareness
- a way of interpreting something.

I know that my perception and my ability to perceive shape, possibly hinder, my experience and that my memory does not always match my actual experience. So I've spent the last two months trying to shed light on my perceptions, so that I could divide my experience from my memory.

The day was slightly grey with just enough sunlight for the water to divide the pier and it's reflections.

This image is so crisp and vibrant, I feel like I can almost touch the ripples in the water.

GORGEOUS image, Juana...and your current mindful experience intriguing. It's strange, isn't it, how our memory might not necessarily correspond with actual experience. The mind--it really does have a life of its own sometimes. ;o) Lovely to catch up with you after being away for some days. ((HUGS))

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport!
