Creating a photo story with Meaning & Metaphor

Photo Stories with Meaning and Metaphor:

.
."All I need is a sign to get behind the sun and cast my weight",
.
these lyrics were on my mind....
and so these images started firing my imagination!

and all of a sudden I'm seeing suns

and birds...
and ~>
'Voila' 
Like a bird "I am able to fly behind the sun and cast my weight",
I am energized to create, to add meaning to my photographs, turn them into stories!
It's amazing how a little photo therapy can brighten your day...
For the unenlightened - here's how you can do this very simple digital doodle in a few clicks: 
.
Browse your image file for an appropriate image, the more abstract the better!
.
Look at the images see if one speaks to you, imagine what you can see in there, look for shapes.
.
Now make a simple stick drawing using Windows 7 Paint (or other) on the top of your photo.
.
