do you see? what i see?

White color in river water has always called to me.
sometimes if i look closely i can pull image from my past.
but this time i saw this very same scene just moments before.
pictures in stone, nature is an awesome thing...



was not quick enough with camera, better yet in stone...

White again,
same as before,
only at different place...

Hi Stonener,
They are very beautiful stones. Specially, The red stone is my favourite. He looks like a Fire God who brought fire to human life. Strong impression.

OK! any takers?
good, bad or ugly!
all comments welcome!

Hello Stonener.
Thank you for showing.
The last one gives an image of a standing figure,
wrapping a robe around himself, because of the pale face it reminds me of those ghostlike creatures
in Japanese stories.
The red stone is special and i feel with Huu Hiep that it has fire, again you show us a stone with lovely color.
This fire stone will be great on a daiza.
The first stone gives me the flash of the fishing bird, did you recognised yourself as a stone collector in this image?
Sunip

Hi Stonener

The last stone is a daruma to me....


Kind regards Yvonne

Thank You both for responding,
My Friends!
YES, Yes & yes...

Hi Sunip I am a collector,
but mostly of rocks!
my wife tells me! I've got them in my head!
but few are suiseki. I go for the colors mostly.

Hi Ms Yvonne! We agree totally!
you're right on, see what I see exactly!
Thank You for the red lines that guide eyes,
and your affirmation.
stonener

Hello.
I love the Daruma idea!
Sunip

Affirmation is not a problem when even the collor is right....

A darumagreeting to you both...Sunip and Stonener.......darumagreeting?

OK Ms Yvonne!
That's exactly how it was for me too...
So then, Now that you got my attention!
What is a daruma greeting? Please share...

OK Sunip as you say!
But not sure just how or what kind of daiza?
I see three large birds flying in formation,
at sunset turing a lighting storm off the California Coast.
so view is straight down, flat like a pancake...
stonener

Hello,
Namaste...... to the Daruma within you.
Yes birds in a fiery sky, an image i have as well but there is much more in the mystery of this stone,
i am still looking at the green eye they carry with them in the middle.
Here a first impression of a possible daiza, what do you feel about the idea?
I tilted the stone a bit contra clockwise.
Sunip

Nice Sunip!
kinda what I was thinking,
did you consider upside down?
what say you then?...

*thinking this is just another pretty rock*

Hello Stonener,
Yes i did, and what about this?
Amazing stone.
Sunip

WoW! that's even better!
I see more in this orientation of all...
Looks like geese coming in for a landing,
bare birch trees in fore ground,
snow on mountain top,
turbulent fast flowing icy river water.
bright red plays out the best in this view,
as late fall foliage in setting sun light...

Definitely Daruma...just looking in the opposite direction than this pic.

Perfect J-san
That's exactly what we see,
made even easier now with your help.
now trying to put together tokonoma display
got any ideas...
what kind of tree and or scroll,
need some short of story line.
stonener

Ever read the story Stone Soup, by Jon J. Muth? How big is the stone...If it is larger just the stone and scroll with landscape scene mountain looking into a valley village...

Just an idea, but probably a crazy one.

Thanks J-san
will give it some serious thought!
Thanks for the in-put...

Not real sure about this one,
was a shot in the dark...
stonener

Hello Stonener,
My eyes are caught by this image;
An old American Indian with his name giver the Puma.
Sunip

Very interesting Sunip!
I had not seen that, but yes he is there!
Now seen thought your eyes!, nice.

I like dogs, so see a brown and white Cocker Spaniel,
with white furry head, chest and back.
If seen as before, hint was "dark!"

You my friend added "eyes" large to catch poor light
as animal using them at night?
So I will add another hint here "beak"...

Hello Stonener ,
and all Friends - Members IBC Forum ,
All ... is depending on one ' s own feelings . And so , I noticed the look of the everyone is very interesting for me . This will help give my mind more imagination than !
Thank you for the time and new discoveries of Mr . Stonener - My Friend .
Sincerely ,
Hưng - Trần .

OK Then...
This is what I saw looking back at us!
on a river trip, high above the camp fire...

Hello Stonener,
I am not sure what you are saying,
the right figure is the cat, the left is the head of the old American Indian.
The stone has indeed the spaniel color but can you give me another clue how you see the dog as i see all sorts of things?
