That is this week’s theme for Dale and K’lee‘s Cosmic Photo Challenge. Visit both of them to see their always-amazing interpretations, and learn how to play along. They welcome your most extreme creativity from straight shots to post-processing par excellence!
Having survived valve repair surgery and an experimental cardiac bypass at age 5, three years before it was an accepted medical procedure, Susan grew into the size of her overworked and enlarged heart. Maybe she thought she had enough to give it away -- twice. Both times, she had to retrieve the shattered pieces and puzzle them back together. She thanks her Dad for the only advice of his she ever followed to the letter: "Never get married. Learn to take care of yourself." So of course she is a writer. Susan has co-written a YA SciFi novel, and has three more novels in various stages of evolution. She's had several short stories published in other people's anthologies, some of which were contest-related.
Let her tell you a story...

Hi Sue,
I am very interested in photography, and I have blogged about it many times. Your photos are beyond amazing, as I am sure you already know.
I met you at Roberta’s blog party.
Maybe you can check out my blog if you need a blogging tip or two. That’s what I write about.

Thanks very much, Diana. That one was another serendipitous shot. I happened to look in the right direction at the right moment with my phone close at hand. A minute later, and the sun would have been at the wrong angle. 🙂
Thank you, Samantha! The second one was purely serendipitous. I was ready to pour a cup of coffee, and there it was. I had to go get my phone and take the shot. I’ve waited more than 10 months for a chance to use it. 🙂 Sorry, not trifle, but I can see how you might think that.

Loved your photos for this week, Sue. Hugh has the most expressive face! I can’t figure out the mystery photo. 😕

Thank you, Marcia. A stranger once described his face as “human”. I see that in his eyes. Ah, the mystery! 😉

I like all the different takes and interpretations, Sue. I have no idea what your mystery reflection is, but it’s a cool photo 🙂
