Stretching your opinions to grow

The recipe for perpetual ignorance is:  Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge. – Elbert Hubbard

Take a look at the pictures below.  What do you see?  Do you see interesting things or stuff you wouldn't take pictures of?   Do pictures have to capture things others would be interested in or should they mean something to you?  Do you think our first impression of something new brings out our core beliefs or new ways of looking at things?  We are creatures of habit.  How do we get past that and see things from a different perspective?  How do we stretch our opinions?  If we take the time to look past our initial impression or core beliefs, we are stretching them to the point where we're willing to learn more and do things differently.  What do you do to stretch your opinions?  What do you do to stretch  your knowledge?

Happy Friday - Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the moments today where you stretch your opinions and grow your knowledge ~

You have to look really close - this isn't just my
backyard, there are 13 deer in the distant field.

Why would a cracked egg be picture worthy?
Maybe no one else would want to take a picture of
it, but the cracked lines looked cool to me.

The colors remind me of all the years we've colored
eggs together.  My kids and their perspectives
keep me on my toes and their thoughts are refreshing
and challenging at the same time.  They keep me growing
along side them.

When mom brings out the camera - it's time to goof off,
look at things in a different way, learn something new.
I love these two girls!
