True beauty is invisible for our eyes.

For the only true Beauty is that of the Heart.

All the rest is only temporary illusion …

"Perfume is a way of stopping time. You smell a beautiful scent and you remember something". [Isabel Toledo]

Vibrations: The Beauty of Sound.

Sounds are vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear. Haven’t you all heard a song or a piece of music that you found so beautiful but could not describe how much it touched you? That is what this did for me. This shot was made with the vibration of a speaker that played a few milliseconds of the film theme music of Jurassic Park.

Why do some,walk by a true work of Nature,and never see the Beauty.

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. Camille Pissarro

.......Always have something beautiful in sight, even if it's just a daisy in a jelly glass. H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

 

the macromonday theme for today 8/27 is to define beauty with a picture and a quote. this is probably going to be my posting and is a tiny daisy like "flower" (probably more likely a weed) from my front lawn-- it measures less than a half an inch in circumference.

Everything has Beauty, but not everyone sees it. - Confucius

Macro Mondays.. You can capture beauty in our eyes 👀

- Quote:

“Your face is marked with lines of life,

put there by love and laughter, suffering and tears.

It's beautiful.”

- depicted part of the ball: ca. 2.5cm

  

- My granddaughters lost bouncing ball, and after more than 2 years found again in the garden.

Now beautiful - not her opinion ;-) - weathered and cracked.

Diameter of the ball 3.5cm

 

- I think nature did take excellent revenge on this uncontrollable bouncing ball by making cracks in it.

Why revenge? Because, before I banished granddaughter and ball from house to garden, it did crack a glass vase with flowers.

William Blake, "Proverbs of Hell"

Macro Mondays theme 'Defining Beauty'.

The beauty of a dew drop jewel.

 

'It is a time of quiet joy, the sunny morning when the glittery dew is on the mallow weed, each leaf holds a jewel which is beautiful, if not valuable.

This is no time for hurry or bustle. Thoughts are slow and deep and golden in the morning'

John Steinbeck.

 

But then, Socrates said that 'Mans life is like a drop of dew on a leaf'.

 

Oh well, lets just enjoy those beautiful jewels.

Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.(Audrey Hepburn)

"La beauté est un mystère en pleine lumière."

"The beauty is a mystery in full light"

 

Jean d'Ormesson

 

Photography is the beauty of life captured

The beauty of Fall

 

“Fall colors are funny. They’re so bright and intense and beautiful. It’s like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary.”

 

― Siobhan Vivian, Same Difference

Pleased that I found a good quote, I go onto Macro Mondays to check the exact theme wording and realise, this is the quote they gave as an example. D'oh! So how about "Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that as well." Anon.

Anyway, another butterfly a-roosting, but this one's been in the shower! Happy Bank Holiday Macro Monday everyone! :-)

Aug 27 - Defining Beauty This was a challenge I really enjoyed because it was great to see how people saw beauty. This time around I used a Sunflower🌻not only do I think they are the most beautiful flowers and resemble the sun, it's also summer. Wishing you a very Happy New Year and hope it will be a great one for you all 💖

Macro Mondays - Defining Beauty

 

"Kaikki loputon kauneus, kaikki järjettömyys

Kaikki ruoskivat toiveet, kaikki päättämättömyys

Ovat lopulta tarkoituksen palasia, osa arvoitusta

Valot pimeyksien reunoilla"

 

..and in english

 

"All the endless beauty, all the insanity

All the lashing hopes, all the indecisiveness

In the end, are pieces of the meaning, part of the mystery

Lights on the edges of darkness"

 

The quote is from the song by Finnish band Apulanta and the song is called "Valot Pimeyksien Reunoilla" which translates roughly to "Lights on the edges of Darkness"

 

And here is a link to the forementioned song:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=icCIkh-FL8A

 

and full lyrics in english:

 

Don't believe in songs, they'll make you a dreamer

They could make you dig things,

that your mind tries to protect you from.

They have a tendency to mess up all the thougts and leave you in chaos.

 

Everyone of us is a path to somewhere

But the wisdom lies in understanding

Who to follow and when to turn away.

And that through a human you can never travel into yourself.

 

All the endless beauty, all the insanity

All the lashing hopes, all the indecisiveness

In the end, are pieces of the meaning, part of the mystery

Lights on the edges of darkness

 

Remember that all of your greatest fears

Are mirror images of your hopes, turn them around

And you'll find the keys to them in your hand

And it's easier to forgive others, than leave carrying a grudge.

 

All the endless beauty, all the insanity

All the lashing hopes, all the indecisiveness

In the end, are pieces of the meaning, part of the mystery

And part of the truth

 

Lights on the edges of darkness

are sometimes dim and sparse

You have a force of an ocean inside of you

that you can make to be your guide.

 

This is just an empty shell, which you need to fill

This is the brightest of lights, this is an endless night

This is a heartbeat, this is eternity

 

Lights on the edges of darkness

 

Lights on the edges of darkness

 

Lights on the edges of darkness

 

Are sparse but they do exist.

 

All the endless beauty, all the insanity

All the lashing hopes, all the indecisiveness

In the end, are pieces of the meaning, part of the mystery

Lights on the edges of darkness

 

Do not believe in songs.

"If beauty was a drop of water, you'll be the ocean" ;)

 

My first try of capturing a water drop shot. It was a little bit trickier than what I initially thought. Nevertheless, I got this somewhat respectable beauty. HMM!

..they must be felt with the heart. (Helen Keller) For Macro Mondays. Defining Beauty.

“All the things that truly matter—beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace—arise from beyond the mind.”

—Eckhart Tolle

 

I’m working on some ideas for this weeks MM theme “Defining Beauty.” This quotation is so perfect to me because I don’t believe that beauty (and the other things that Tolle mentions) can be defined.

 

*This image has been heavily cropped. The seashell is only a centimetre in size!

A beautiful heart is one that shines and brighten up others lives.

 

… quote from me :)

 

I used magnetic beads and shone a light on them to create the shine.

To me simplicity is beauty.
