True beauty is invisible for our eyes.
For the only true Beauty is that of the Heart.
All the rest is only temporary illusion …

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.

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

- 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"

A single-exposure image of a small portion (~2") of an antique sequined tapestry, which was illuminated by sunlight at the top, and a blue gel at the bottom. The camera was held right against the tapestry, allowing the vintage Helios lens to create this effect.

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.

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

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." -Confucius.
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 💖
And if we travel all over the world to find the BEAUTY, we must carry it within us, otherwise we will not find it.

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!

“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.
