Most of our moments are like this. Artists/writers see these moments and are able to contemplate their uniqueness, their lines, the feelings they evoke. Artists can separate a moment, a feeling and shower their attention to it.
Sometimes, freezing a moment and framing it, helps us appreciate the fluidity of our lives, the impermanence of it all.
We have stopped life by art.
Art becomes a beautiful feeling captured.
And art makes life worth living.
THIS THEME and more are explored in The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barberry.

capturing those moments, even those imperfect, not quite in focus or half out of shot helps us to appreciate them for what they are...a part of life...smiles.
Made me laugh! Love it.
It is a lab's tail - right?
Love those moments in time.
I totally get this photo. The moment was captured well. I enjoyed it.
"Sometimes, freezing a moment and framing it, helps us appreciate the fluidity of our lives, the impermanence of it all."
So true. I think this is why I love photography so much. It's just a moment, captured in time, and it reminds me that nothing, good nor bad, lasts forever.
You are so right .... each and every element of the art world!
Wagging my tail :)
so right you are rosaria. those snapshots tell stories a little like dreams, where something is always disappearing just around the corner.......

Yes, I have been there. I tried to take a shot of a truck passing by and I sure caught a glimpse.
That photo is compelling. Something about its moment...we know what it is although imperfectly framed.
What a tale that tail can tell. With your creative interpretation.
Actually, it's a great photo. The water is beautifully in movement, as is the dog. I like it!
Fine looking rudder Butters has. He would swim in circles with out it. Great frozen shot.
How right you are. Best we don't see it all up front. Why stick around? More food for thought.

Rosaria! This reminds me of Gulf Oil Spill pics! :(
Sparkling water and a good dog's tail bring back the memories and hold them close.....
Having just lost my retriever a few months ago, this photo was very comforting. Life is fleeting. I think those special moments with our dogs captured in a quick snap shot become powerful reminders of the "moments of being" that Virginia Woolf wrote about.
Life is fluid- caught nicely in this photo- thanks.
He must have been travelling really fast.
It is a very impressive photo. Something very appealing about it.

Blogger's vocabulary is not as rich as yours!

So true, R. Capturing the moment is what counts.
Uncontexted? Uncontextualized... maybe not the same thing. But yes, the Blogger spelling tool is a little too obtuse, in my opinion.
LOVE Third Story Window! And I always override blogger spell check when I like my own word :).
Lovely post.
For me, a moment can be captured in a single small object. Like a pebble.
Any oement in time captured is memory for the person capturing it, regardless of artistic merit which is really a judgement by someone else.
I love certain photos only I consider artistic because of some memory or mood it may evoke.
Still love the tail!!!!!!!!!
I love making up my own words. After all someone made up the words we all use today, anyway, right. Your "tail" photo tells quite a tale! You're so talented in every respect.
I'm hoping to get to see your daughter in Los Altos or Los Gatos the end of the month!
I loved that book. Your picture had me intrigued.
I love no thing like my camera. I know just what you mean.
