With Eyes Wide Open

The book as a mirror?

The exercise I decided to try today

I've been reading a book called Inner Excavation,

the book that inspired my first attempt at a real poem - 
Traveling Mind  
and was up to the section titled Seeing With Eyes Wide Open and decided to do the photographic exercise that was on the page.

It was funny because I had just read this section the day I found out Patti Page had died, which is why I included her song  
With My Eyes Wide Open in the post I did on Patti -
Patti Page dies aged 85 ... and a Personal Sync For Me

So, after I finished my cup of tea I got cracking with this exercise.
What colour is your morning?

That's what it looks like to me just after eyes open.

And this is what it looks like a bit later on.

What are the shapes of your day?

Today is hot where I live, so most of the day has been spent under one of these pictured above.

Most of Australia is in the grip of a heatwave, or battling bush-fires like the one above.
Dunalley locals question control-burning regime

What are the smells of your evening?
I cheated a bit on this one, since I wasn't going to wait for nightfall to snap kitchen photos with an abusive wife bashing me with a fry-pan and telling me to get out of the way;-)

Where most of the evening smells come from

Where would I be without Tabasco sauce in my life?

What are the textures of your weekend?

Where did the pool go?-)

What are the sounds of this moment?

What nourishes you?

My main fuel source ... coffee.

I'm out of beer, so you'll just have to imagine a bottle here;-)
What do you see when you open your eyes and really look?
