Description
While walking along the Sacramento River in northern CA., USA, I came across this piece of plastic wrap - before I picked it up and added it to the trash I was collecting, I just had to shoot it.....it seemed like something really beautiful as the intense heat was making it sweat and created this lovely abstract....

Gregory how nice of you to stop bye; thank you for the awesome support of this image....I am amazed when I go out on a shoot in nature and see things like this that could have been so easily picked up by whomever dropped it....collectively, we can all make a difference :-)

Joyce,how very beautiful to see through your eyes! I suppose when we label something "trash",in the labeling ,we cease to "see" it ,as we then think we know what it is. I know someone who labels squirrels and seagulls as "vermin"(.Along with many other creatures).So he cannot see their beauty. This "trash" is indeed an abstract bubbly,light-filled,extraordinary masterpiece ! Thank you for sharing your wide-open sight ! v/f
Joyce Dickens replied:
I am so honored dear Jane by your awesome appreciation of my work.....it is with immense pleasure that I shoot such things as I always see the beauty first.....I am delighted that you are enjoying this image Jane.....every single living thing, whether it be plant or animal is a gift of beauty.....we have to be receptive in order to "see" it.....I know that you are very receptive and that makes me very happy - I am finding pleasure in shooting inanimate objects such as this "trash" .....I feel like a kid in a candy store when I go out with my camera! xoxo Joyce
