When You Look

November 18, 2008 By Jen Lemen

When you look through the lens, you may find…

the weariness reserved for little girls up way past their bedtime,

the beauty of innocence,

the sweetness of waiting,

a new Alice in Wonderland ready for a new world, a new Queen, a brave new adventure,

a too long forgotten, tender lost part of you, waiting to be claimed once again.

Oh the things you will find, when you look through the lens.

What are you finding when you look through your lens today? Tell us all things simple and true in the comments today, and don’t forget links to your unique point of view.

    Such a beautiful image. I see ‘hope’ and ‘wonderment’ in her eyes.
    And thru my lens – I see the colors fading:

    I love the expressive eyes! To me, the eyes tell the whole story. It doesnt matter if it is human or animals, capture the eyes and you capture the soul. My post today is titled, Eye,Eye,Eye

    poor baby – she does look sleepy. lately, though life is a series of sad events – like Anne Frank, I still believe in an overall goodness (and perhaps the possibility of miracles).

    and much, much more,
    language and skill

    Thank you for asking. I am looking for signs of "life" in the otherwise dreary month of November.

    I see a longing in this girl’s eyes. She had been involved in bitter divorce of her parents.. and those eyes were telling me how she feels.

    And how my little girl is trying hard to hold back her emotion.

    And Jen, those eyes you captured is a true nature wonder!

    I just found your site, and I absolutely love it. Thank you for such an inspiring place, and for inviting so much thought. As I went for a walk today I was thinking about the many paths of opportunity we have to choose from, how things change in unexpected ways and there are turns and forks in the road we might never have expected. All through it, we have the steady voice of our hearts to guide us.

    It’s true. When you raise your camera to your eye you see so much more. I have learnt so much by looking through the lens…
