Before I started taking photos and publishing them, I was fairly unobservant. Looking for “the photo” has made me a lot more observant, and also a lot more ready. Practice with the camera (or in my case iPhone) means that it’s quick(ish) from thought to photo. Opportunities can pass quickly and if one isn’t even noticing things then there aren’t that many opportunities !
This was taken at my local shopping centre/mall, there’s an oval shaped opening which extends from ground floor all the way up to the roof. This display hangs in the space and is just a breathtaking array of colour. So enjoy 🙂

Colorful!!
True say !
I so agree with the sentence “Looking for “the photo” has made me a lot more observant, and also a lot more ready.”, I feel just the same way about that 🙂 Great shots you have found, however 🙂
Thanks, taking my photography seriously and playing with photoshop has definatley upped my game 🙂

Thanks for the blog Don. I like the observation about honing your ability to see in new ways
Thanks for the reblog … only just noticed your message, sorry about that !
I like how you shared about being more “observant” – because seeing is not the same thing as “really seeing” 🙂
and I bet this was breathtaking to look up and see –
Certainly caught my eye, I was in the Pharmacy buying vitamins and came out to see this !
I love it!!! Love the colours! What a happy photo 😍
This is one of several, but this one was the best capture and entirely bursting with colour 🙂
