I have made my first step into the Macro World and I have to say, I find it fascinating. I know that Dandelions are very popular subjects but I am not sure you have seen this interpretation before.
At the first look of this closeup, I have directly seen the allegory with the human brain. Even with less complexity and features, I believe Nature is much nicer graphically.
Teilhard would say that the challenge of spirituality is to integrate what does not seem to fit. To make it fit requires expanding one’s consciousness to new levels. As people add more and more complexity to their lives and integrate it, they continue to expand and further develop their consciousness.

Adored this tree trunk as it wove its way in a very serpentine fashion through the dense (and still very green) complexity of foliage. Taken in the woods at Whiteleaf Cross, Princes Risborough.

This flower never ceases to astonish me.
Have a great day, friends. Guess what I'll be doing.
Here is Peggy's mosaic.

This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year. In this case they are for a friend, who likes yellow and gold as a colour scheme.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the black flowers which are 6mm, the gold stars which are 3mm and the gold flower centres which are 2mm and are very fiddly to work with. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flowers and stars until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, however because it is a complex pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
Ornate, dusty, old, repurposed, dominated by a tree, ironically beautiful. Basically these apartments are a metaphor for society in general.
On a misty morning in Little Wittenham Wood, these complex forms in the mist provide ample eye candy with their engrossing shapes and earthy hues.

While in Yangon, Myanmar, I was perplexed by the method being used to construct buildings. I'd never seen so much wood utilized and in such a concentrated area.

youtu.be/bQWjlkl2klw "Out of complexity emerges greater complexity. We could almost say that the universe, nature, is a novelty-conserving or complexity-conserving engine. It makes complexity and it preserves it and it uses it as the basis for further complexity." -Terence McKenna
From a distance, this wall looked like a piece of modern art — a stunning, intricate design, like a carefully woven mesh. I thought it must be made with advanced materials and complex techniques.
But as I got closer, I realized it was just a simple sheet of metal, shaped by a few cuts and a clever design. That’s it. So simple up close, yet so elegant from afar.
This photo is a quiet reminder — maybe for me, maybe for you:
Sometimes, all it takes is a change in perspective.
Real beauty isn’t always in complexity — it often lives in the brilliance of simplicity. 🌱
The commandments of justice and mercy, indeed of love or the golden rule, have after all inspired historic resistance to lawless aggressions and to oppressive law. The Torah, the Jewish law, is not reducible to legalism or exclusivism, but supports the “struggle for justice and mercy.” 26 Perhaps it is a matter of infusing the commandments within the atmosphere of the Eros: “Arise my love, and come away” is also an imperative—a proposition in the sense suggested in our earlier discussion of truth-claims! After all, the ethics of “should and should not” may also encode, should also encode the divine lure. For without strong supportive structures of community, society, liturgy, theology, the chances are minute that we can individually or collectively even discern the initial aim...
...How does this unforcing force work? By sparking your desire: desire ignites desire. This sparking process takes place largely beneath and before our consciousness. Sometimes glimpsed in a dream, in a stranger’s face, in a flow of grief, a comforting embrace, a surge of music, a private illumination, a public act of truth. In conscience, shame, guilt, awe at a random sunset. The spark is what we hope for in prayer, meditation, worship. We infer it—and cannot in truth make any certain claims about it, as in “God told me this or that; God wills this or that for me.” For it comes already coated in our experience, in our own subjectivity, in the aims of our own socialized desire.
--On the Mystery, DISCERNING DIVINITY IN PROCESS, Catherine Keller
Possibly the last of this little series of blossoming blackthorn at Wittenham Clumps. The branches of these trees always fascinate with their complexity, a feast for the eyes to wander. Couple that with a glorious display of white flower and the seem now to be dancing.
An imposing sight looms through the misty wood.The complexity highlighted by the backdrop of fine branches of the trees in the background.
The fifth in this series and trying to find some kind of balanced shot in this chaotic scene is difficult to this is as close as I could get, hence the title.
Woodland shots are without doubt my favourite type of landscape images, both to take and to view.
I find them very difficult to execute, but I guess that's part of the attraction. It's often hard to simplify the complexity of neighboring elements, however I quite like all the different lines and colours in this image.
