harbinger
the blue of
darkness is
a blank canvas
from translucent music
comes
the shadow
of hope
moonbird rising
toward
the center of deep
light
It took me a long time to see the hat in Sue Vincent’s photo prompt, above–to my eyes the form on the sign was a magical creature, perched on the threshold.Ā So I just went with it.

so funny that I also did not see a hat until you said it – then it was right there! I love your interpretation!

Thanks Jodi. Birds and moons are always good signs I think!

That is funny that we both used harbinger today. I like the dreamy sense of hope here. I also did not see it was a hat–I thought it was a bird or a cat–or a moonbird.

I was glad to get a message of hope. Blue is a good color for that. Thanks Merril.

I didn’t see the hat for the longest time either, but a birdlike creature is a strange display. Isn’t that funny? I love how you went with the first impression. š

Thanks Diana. It’s interesting how many people didn’t see the hat right away either. I’m sure Sue knew that would be the case…

At first I saw a cat instead of a hat. Love your interpretation today.

Thanks Michelle. At first I thought my view was an outlier, but it seems that the image is full of its own images. I like that ambiguity too.

Thanks Sue. Lots of people saw an animal of some sort before they saw the hat–did you expect that to be the case?

I wondered… that’s why I don’t like saying too much about the photos when I post them…let imagination play š
