We think too small,
like the frog at the bottom of the well.
He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well.
If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view.

Great image!
Thank you so much Mike ! Great seeing you and love your photos.
Gorgeous lily pond. Has it finished flowering? Mao wrote that quote? Wow, I never though he is poetic.
Actually it hasn’t even started yet. Lily ponds will be blooming in the next month ! Can’t wait.
So very true…
Thank you ! Can you imagine having frog legs? Ribbit !
Cool! Looks like a Monet!!
If I only had an ounce of Monet’s creativity. Thank you Tricia.
Isn’t that true… and a beautiful picture like an impressionist painting!
You are too kind Lexa. Appreciate your comment and hope to see you back soon.
Wow! That is an impressive photo!
Ok..I was desperate. I needed my pic for the day and had the 500mm on the camera while looking for warblers. This is all I could get. The processing in Nik color efex pro is what made it special.
Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the best starting point. I love that one because it looks real and surreal at the same time.
Indeed true..the patterns and textures of nature.
Just wow!! 🙂
Thank you so much Madhu. So happy you liked this one.
This is simply magical!
You are too kind Lisa. Means so much that you enjoyed this image.
Wonderful photo – and really like the quote, so true… 🙂
But as a duck, you know how big the sky is, and eats the frog. 🙂
So funny – this is wonderful. Didn’t you just inquire about a Lily Pond? I saw an image yesterday and I could see the painting instantly – knew I would have to give it a go. This photograph is beautiful, as is the quote.
Feel free to use this image as inspiration. A visit to a lilyponds park is due shortly so I can provide lots of great ideas for you. 🙂
LOVE this image!!!
Thank you so much ! Plenty of frogs there as you can imagine.
FROGS!
COOL!!!
Thanks Renee ! Happy Friday!
The pond is so gorgreous, it is wonderful.
I’m a sucker for lily ponds. Can’t get enough of them. Thanks Leanne!
Wonderful scene, very creative Emily!
Desperation = creativity. Imagine that! Thank you so much Phil for visiting.
A watery, stained-glass window!
I hadn’t looked at this that way, but you’re absolutely right. Like the tiffany museum in Florida
