a propeller...

...in the cactus blossoms

do you see it - looking a bit like those old-fashioned ones - from the planes of times gone by - or the ones where... in my minds eye - you had to run out and twirl the propeller around by hand - then run back - hop into the cockpit and take off... i don't know that that ever really happened - i could be making it up...

as with this actually looking like a propeller - it really could - or it could simply be because i was just reading about planes - so that image was stuck in my brain... see how simple it is - how easily i'm influenced - then it gets projected onto what i'm photographing... sigh...

you do have to admit - it gives pause - makes you stop to look twice, doesn't it? maybe? to see if you see what i see... if your brain can wrap around - what mine has perceived to be - if it has, then you feel a sense of wonder - like i did - you have a bond now with this itty-bitty bit of nature - and realize you've experienced...

a

happy day.....
