You See ~ I See. Colour Challenge. Thursday Green. Original Photography. Green Sphere on the Wing of a Dragonfly.

I fly.
Into the space.
Of the Bearer of Light.
Leaving a memory. Of a heart being.
Filled with love. For you and all beings. ~Ally.

We can lift ourselves out of ignorance.
We can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.
~Richard Bach. Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

You See.

• A small lime green sphere on the wing of a dragonfly.

I See.

• Walking barefoot over the local golf course early in the morning. Before the first players arrive. A majestic 'manor estate' of hills and valleys, on an ancient sandstone escarpment. All to myself.

• A huge 'lake' surrounded by indigenous reeds, bullrushes and grasses: Home to native ducks and frogs as well as a mating ground for many varieties of dragonflies. The 'lake' is actually a man-made dam that collects stormwater from the nearby creek, running through the course on its way to Sydney Middle Harbour.

• A glint of gold: Flashing from the reeds on the edges of the lake, about 10 metres away.

• Slowly walking along the pathway, beside the reeds, to where I'd seen that 'glint of gold.'

• Standing motionless. Breathing in the beauty of the 'Golden Dragonfly.' One of the largest and most beautifully winged dragonflies I'd ever seen.

• Initially I thought the lime green sphere was an imperfection in the image. Now it's more like a fascinating feature, which to date, no-one has been able to tell me what it is.

• Maybe you know?

What you see vs What I see.

An image that can really make us stop in wonder, in curiosity, in surprise and in delight, is a photographer's dream com true.

An image that rekindles memories of our own experiences and implores us to understand ourselves and our world just a little more, is priceless.

'What you see vs What I see' is a new concept in sharing an image and was initiated by @marillaanne

Marilla posted her images: 'What you see vs What I see' with the tag #useeisee and now welcomes other Steemians to join her by:

• Writing their own 'What you see vs What I see' post.
• Using the tag #useeisee.
• And then posting a comment on her latest #useeisee post with a link to your own post.

'You See ~ I See. Original Photography. Three Seagulls.' was my first 'What you see vs What I see' post and I found it to be such an 'expansive' way of describing a single image.

I invite you now to have a look at the other posts at #useeisee and if you resonate with the concept, maybe you'll consider sharing one of your own images there too.
