Catching Rainbows ๐ŸŒˆ

in #blogging โ€ข 7 years ago

Iโ€™m feeling a bit flummoxed this morning. I have so many things to say. So many insights have come to me lately. Mainly just experiencing awesome โ€œah haโ€ moments throughout the days and not writing them out. So now, when I have a few moments to write, I donโ€™t know where to begin. Which โ€œah haโ€ to share first? I Donโ€™t feel I have enough time to tackle any one of them well enough.

Omg itโ€™s just like the rainbows I keep seeing here in Puerto Rico. They are fleeting and barely there, and yet so beautiful! When you try and capture them in a picture it pales in comparison to the experience of the moment of seeing them in real life. And yet I try. I keep seeing them and their beauty. I keep trying to capture the moment into little digital pixels. How can I NOT try?!

When any natural beauty is presented we should share it with others as it helps us break from droll routine, distraction and mindless โ€œlife as usualโ€. This was/is/will forever be the realm of the artist, be it mechanical or being an artist of life.

Well said ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

Loving the rainbows. Nice shots. I really like the word flummoxed. :)

Thank u. I like the word โ€œflummoxedโ€ as well. I am
a word nerd ๐Ÿค“.

I think I learned it years ago when I went through a phase of reading Emily Brontรซ. Flummoxed and vexed seem to have been more commonly used during her era, and she used them well.

For me, rainbow is a sign of "Don't worry, everything will be fine". Whenever I look at the rainbow, it reminded me of how awesome is the Mother's Nature and how tiny I am as compare to the Earth.

Beautiful pictures.

Nothing compares to life in real life. All attempts to copy it, preserve it, memorialize it, can capture at best only a tiny little slice, a subtle hint of that moment.

A life spent mostly in the now is rich and intoxicating.

Amen, brother! Itโ€™s so tempting to try and hold on and memorialize the experience. But I agree...and at times we can even miss the moment in our efforts to capture it.

Yup. That's that whole "do I want to watch the kids' games or take pictures of them" conundrum....

So naturally beautiful ... nature's work of art captured by your camera. :)

Very well said @steemed-open beautiful thoughts that are well said.

beautiful beach and the wonderful rainbow. what a sight to stay a holiday. I think it is carrabeian (West Indies) beach? correct me if I am wrong.

North coast of Puerto Rico

I know this looks much more vibrant and mesmerizing there. The scenery looks just like in the beaches here in the Philippines with that coconut peeking through. Rainbows are always a sight to behold.

This place is so beautiful, i have never been in beach like that. It's really hard to catch rainbow in a picture, good work !

you caught the rainbow so beautifully. this photo is great. congratulations on the success of catching the moment. @steem-open

Best quality friend, please follow back

You have some nice piece of photography there.. Those rainbows always remind me that our beautiful earth won't be destroyed by water again

Very beautiful...!!!

your very beautiful post. in which images show nice river. very nice photography.
you are very nice woman friend.

That's a lovely rainbow! We just had one here in Israel and I tried to catch it with my camera but it disappeared abruplty and I didn't manage to - later I was in a car on a highway and the rainbow reappeared and I had no way of taking a picture, that was frustrating!

They are fleeting, elusive and beautiful. I know!

Those photos and captured moments in time need no words. Very nice!

Thanks ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

You caught the whole thing, its lovely

I tried! Had to hang out the window a bit to capture most of it. ๐ŸŒˆ

Hahahaha, you did good

The view of the sea water is amazing ,,, as if I was there. I like your post.

I love rainbows and to me its always a real sensation, when I see one. But like you say, its a major challenge to capture one adequately in a photo, although I think you did great!

Maybe its simply their nature and rainbows are meant to disappear again and only remain strong and bright in your memories ๐ŸŒˆ

Love your new profile picture!

They are very special. And thanks on the profile pic. I knew you would notice! ๐Ÿค—

Thank you for the new word I've learned from you today, flummoxed. I've never heard that one before. After looking up the definition, I realized that I have often been flummoxed. I like learning something new.

I reckon we all suffer from being flummoxed at times. Glad you like it. :)

You are living my dream life @steemed-open .Enjoying every bit of life as much as you can. The pictures are lovely by the way.

Thanks my friend. I really am. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ I wish a dream life come true for you as well. Youโ€™re young and have such a great attitude, so good chances for you.

You are right. Patience and hardwork is all i need to focus on.

Always try hard, but also live the moment and if you can't express your experience well enough through a photo, your dears will still be listening to you.
