Living in Oz


I shared this photo on Facebook recently, and for several people, it conjured images of Oz.  Isn't it cool when other people see things we don't? I hadn't considered the Oz comparison and now I see it so clearly.  The yellow brick road, a red dress (instead of shoes). It was indeed a magical experience, walking into the leaves and looking down to see the hem of my red dress framed by such vibrant gold.  One of those standstill moments.

And like Oz, I walked on into reality. The truth that magic is everywhere in the everyday. That joys abound and that I must solve my own problems. That friends help each other along, and that sometimes the magic is seeing things in a different way.

Pretty picture. I like the fabric your dress is made from.

Very cool shot! I'm also striving to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. Happy Fall!

Don't you just love the magic and "seeing things in a different way"?

Really interesting how specific items and colors conjure up memories. Thought provoking photo!

I thought I left a comment, but guess I didn't. Yes, this is a OZ sort of photo and so true at seeing the magic.
