‘Twas just a wee photo challenge – flowers in a vase. And these weren’t even technically in a vase; rather, the tulips (image, far left) grew from bulbs in the vase. Still, apparently the challenge winner won a spot on the RedBubble home page.
That short appearance resulted in more than 2,000 hits or views and several hundred comments. This felt quite strange at first. However, similar to selling a print to someone I didn’t know, gradually the shift in my perceptions settled back to normal. When new images replaced mine and others on the home page, my five minutes of fame ended.
No sale occurred as a result of that fame. But the point of posting a print of some tulips awash in sunshine was to enhance my own pleasure and capture a moment of pleasure. In that, I succeeded. The rest was lagniappe.
Ah but I do remember that beautiful image … and it gave me pleasure to enjoy it and further pleasure to see your tulips acknowledged my dear Red Bubbling friend.
