Today is another engagement with the hoarfrost surrounding the pool. Although the whole landscape is magical, my attention is focused on the miniature frost patterns on the ice. Suddenly, I am aware of something behind me, even though I only hear the silence of the morning. Anticipating that there may be an animal, I turn slowly and carefully, and discover a lone deer standing motionless, curiously observing me.

I return its gaze and slowly make a few exposures. Does this image belong to the Pool of Possibilities collection? I think it does, for it was the stillness of the pool that allowed me to sense what was behind me. If I can be attuned in my daily life to anticipate what is hidden from my eyes, then I have gained much.

Is there a magical place in your surroundings that you might have overlooked? Is your Pool of Possibilities still enough for you to anticipate what is not seen?
