I love to experiment...not so much in a high school chemistry class way...lol...but with my creative and spiritual side. Sometimes an experiment really turns out amazing and sparks great creative insight. Sometimes it fizzles. Regardless, each time we experiment we learn from it. In my journey in life, experimenting has been critical to my personal growth. I can't imagine what I may have missed out on. I have experimented with jewelry making, spirituality, blogging, and now photography.
Experimenting means taking risks too. You open new doors. You forage new paths. You put yourself out there. But think about it for a moment...wouldn't it be so boring if you didn't even attempt to take a chance?
Hmmmmmm...what are you experimenting with today?

Beautifully put. Experimenting and dare I say, taking the risk to step into the unknown. What we would have missed out on if you hadn't experimented with blogging, spirituality, photography... Thank you "mad" scientist! (smiles) You truly are an amazing spirit. Thank you for sharing your experiments! I am one of many that Love and Enjoy them! I can't wait to see what your next experiment brings to life. Love and Light, Nina P.
Today I am experimenting with sleep. How many hours in a row I can sleep without being interrupted by a dog, a cat or a husband.
you are SO right !
I experiment with something...a little bit....every day !!
and of course now, I'm all about photography and risking being a half way decent photographer with hopes that I continue to love it....because in the past, I have given up or changed my mind....
but this time....this time I think this new path is here to stay !!
I'm experimenting, with my partner Sandie, at running our own businesses. Exciting. Also experimenting with some extreme downsizing of our living space. So far so good. :)
And, I TOTALLY want a print of this image!!
I love this post and not just because that flower is my favorite color either.
You remind me to keep trying things, even if everything I tried before was a flop ... because you never know when the thing that's going to take off will come along.
If you hadn't 'experimented' with photography, you never would have uncovered this amazing gift you have. I shudder to think of you never having taken a picture! You really came across your genius, just by trying something on a lark (that's my understanding, forgive me if I am wrong. Your husband just gave you a camera for a present right? And you had no idea you had this eye, this talent? That's quite a story darlin')
I guess I spent the summer experimenting in the kitchen... becoming more of a cook for my family after 18 years of NOT! I'm hoping to find more time to experiment with art. I've never been an "artist," but I want to try some things I've seen in magazines lately. I want to be able to call my home office a "studio!"
Caroline, your photography is SO amazing. This photo puts me at a loss for words.... I want a print of it, too. I guess it's on your Etsy site?
Lovely, lovely, both of you!
I am experimenting with being bolder. Taking steps that are rightfully my own. Your photo is truly breathtaking my friend. :)
I've recently been experimenting with a different way of blogging. I dropped out of my regular way and immersed myself in a different path. And it was a success.
Because I got the 'diff path' out of my system. And can now return to my usual blogging path, energized by the holiday.
Thank you for asking!

i agree.
such a beautiful photo. your up close flower shots--which you seem to specialize in--are always so large and gorgeous. beautifully bold like this one. or simple and soft like others.
sorry i've been so absent lately. i've just had so many problems, but i've been missing your inspiring posts, so i had to stop by and catch up.
Wow, what a photo! I'm experimenting with new forms of poetry. I would like to push my boundaries a bit and see if I can add some new "spice" to my poetry arsenal. We'll see...
Lovely thought, Carolynn. Well I took a leap and experimented last night and failed miserably. Today I am dusting myself off; am in "oh, well" mode. I took a jewelry making class to make beaded earrings. I was horrible. A failure. A disappointment, but onward.
I am experimenting rather successfully with my garden. This is a very big stretch for me as I do NOT have a green thumb, but things are working out. I am creating beauty plant by plant...and finding new joy. Yes, it is good to risk and stretch ourselves. Glad you do so in your life because we ALL benefit from the beauty you create!
I'm a little of this and that all over the place. photography, food, new routes for car pool....the saying today is life is a daring adventure or nothing at all.
I love coming to see your pictures and read your words of wisdom. laurie
I am experimenting with making some jewelry..some cooking...Moroccan...patience..
breathe in and out.. when people and things are not moving fast enough..that is starting to work..take care..
Yes yes yes experiment always. I love the results you share with us! And the journey is perhaps the greatest of the path. To day I experiment with not caring what the outcome of life will be! So far it has brought me joy and peace.
Love your beautiful flowers. I'm experimenting by taking time to heal and not be so quick to forgive people before I'm ready.
