In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
This week’s Photomotivation assignment is Faces in Unlikely Places. I was having trouble seeing any faces. Mary Kay came over yesterday. I’d previously asked her to look out for Faces. Before MK left yesterday, she said that she’d seen eyes and a nose on the Museum a mile and a half away on Gerald Ford.
I decided to kill two birds with one stone and went for a different neighborhood exercise walk, outside our MHCC complex, on Gerald Ford. There it was, eyes and a nose as clear as day. I can’t believe I pass this Museum every day, many times a day, and never notice the eyes and nose in the photo I took below. Mary Kay, you get the credit, but I still posted the photo assignment in my class online group.

On the way home from the walk, just inside our Mission Hills CC gate, I stopped to photograph some ducks. I looked up before leaving this spot and noticed this great reflection in the Arnold Palmer 4th hole lake. The time was about 3pm. I want to remember to go back there around this time again as I haven’t seen better reflection possibilities in some of the other golf course lakes. The angle I was shooting was 90 degrees south to the west sun.
