A fading Tree of Life mural at an old glass factory on the outskirts of Amman, Jordan.
I'm following in Julochka's footsteps at Moments of Perfect Clarity. Want to play along? Create your own "If I were..." list. Here's mine:
If I were a month, I'd be September.
If I were a time of day, I’d be midnight.
If I were a sea animal, I’d be a dolphin.
If I were a piece of furniture, I'd be antique.
If I were a liquid, I’d be burgundy.
If I were a gemstone, I'd be a blue diamond.
If I were a tree, I’d be a Magnolia.
If I were a flower, I’d be a white rose.
If I were a musical instrument, I’d be a Spanish guitar.
If I were a color, I’d be teal blue.
if i were an emotion, I’d be passionate.
If I were a fruit, I’d be a fig.
If I were a sound, I’d be soft.
If I were an element, I’d be water.
If I were a car, I’d be a Jaguar.
If I were a food, I’d be jambalaya.
If I were a place, I’d be by the sea.
If I were material, I’d be pure cotton.
If i were a taste, I’d be lemongrass and lime.
If I were a scent, I’d be subtle.
If I were a body part, I’d be an eye.
If I were a song, I'd be dancing.
If I were a bird, I’d be a white owl.
If I were a gift, I’d be thoughtful.
If I were a door, I’d be wooden.
If I were a pair of shoes, I’d be black suede heels.
If I were a poem, I’d write it myself.
This is brilliant, I saw this at Kate Iredale's....
If I may
I will soak in your personality here

Beautiful photo; I really love seeing Jordan through your eyes, it's on my list of places to visit. That part of the world has always fascinated me.

I did a different If I were list not long ago, but I love your list. I will have to do this one another day.
The tree of life had a big impact on my daughter when she traveled in Palestine. She ended up having it tattooed on her back. I loved your photo.
