(spring photo taken when I visited the west coast)
Two types of people have been standing out to me as of late;
The backdrop- those who stand quietly in the background....
almost unnoticed.
Then there is the scene- those who stand up in front, show most of their color and display.
But....(just a thought)
would the scene seem so brilliant without its backdrop?
(sorry...I've used this scene before, but the backdrop actually called out to me for this post~ Jasper, Alberta)

Don't forget the backdrop,
for the backdrop sets the scene.

Are you ever going to write a book to feature your thoughts and observations on life? You should, it would be very interesting as is your blog.--Inger
Beautiful thought on a magnificent background..
what a picture perfect scene, Dawn.
Have a delightful weekend,
Pam
Wow, gorgeous photos. And such an insightful statement.
Have a great weekend!
That's a brilliant post, Dawn! You're so right about that. And both those photos are so pretty that you could never post them too many times. :-)
I enjoy being a backdrop person. I suits me.
So very true.
You have no idea how much this post means to me today. Just what I needed to read.
I enjoy being in the background except when I'm making a scene :) Nice photos!
Beautiful photos, and an interesting/thought provoking post!
Okay, so which one am I? :) Love the blooming tree. So delicate.
You make beautiful photographs!
And i like todays puzzle piece!
Backdrops. They are very important. The wind beneath the wings. The backbone of society. Being a backdrop is nice.
Awesome post. Awesome message. Awesome picture!
I like Eyeliquor's note and 2nd that! :)
Really beautiful message and pictures. I am new here so I have not viewed the picture before. So glad you reshared it or I would have missed the opportunity to see it!!!
Let's hear it for the backdrop!
i KNEW that was jasper. homesick. for the backdrop and the scene.
xo,

True words and a great post!
The photo is AMAZING! Feel free to use it whenever you want to!
Call me a backdrop and thanks for the poignant reflection.
i feel much better after reading that. ;o)
So beautiful! I'm glad you posted that second shot again...I missed it the first time :)
That is so true and the place I like best. I live in a house with people who like to be in front and I have always been in the background so that is why blogging is such a incredible experience for me. :)
I guess I'm more of a backdrop...great post Dawn...
It takes all kinds of people to make our world go round.
Beautiful photos. I agree with everyone here.
beautiful~
i agree - the world just wouldn't be as awesome if we were all the same!
have a great weekend~
Beautiful words and a perfect photo for these words :-)
Thank you so much for your prayers for my nephew Jordan. He is improving, and our family has been so encouraged by the outpouring of love we've received.
Blessings,
Marcia
Terrific shots.
Fantastic words with the perfect pictures to enjoy them by. I'm a new follower! Love your blog & love Alberta. I get there to Calgary for work. Western Canada is very similar landscape to the prairies I live on...but you have MOUNTAINS that I love!

Stunning photos...and yes the backdrop is very important.
Cool the last picture!
Amazing mountain wow, wow, wow!
And your snow is ... deep.
Wonderful perspective......
Wish I could see the big picture as clearly as you do. Wonderful post.
Dawn, the saying "Behind every powerful man there's one good woman!" Backdrops need attention as well and it's awesome that you pulled this one out as a reminder to those of us who sometimes forget about the backdrop.
This past 2 days of taking photos at the Career Fair I ensured I snapped plenty of shots of the volunteers, they blend into the background (backdrop) far to often and do not get the recognition I believe they deserve! Without volunteers there wouldn't be a show so to speak.
Enjoy your weekend!
Lots of background people who make our lives better go unnoticed unless we acknowledge them personally. I always thank all who help with even little things if I can.Anyone with a name tag gets even a more personal thank you.
Wonderful thoughts and the images are amazing!
Oftentimes we only see the dot on the white board but not the background.
Happy Sunday.
That is an interesting analysis of people, Dawn. Are we all supposed to self-declare as a background or a scene person? I'm both.
A really great thought, Dawn. So true!
Wonderful post and examples - love it! xo
