"What is the essence of America? Finding and maintaining that perfect, delicate balance between freedom 'to' and freedom 'from.' "-- Marilyn vos Savant
Just after sunrise Piper's Hill, Hanbury, looking east to wards the town of Redditch, Worcestershire and beyond.
I've often found the smallest flowers have the most delicate structure. This beauty was as big as my thumb, but was filled with multitudes of blossoms. I imagine this would be a bee's paradise.
“I have had to accept the fact that my life is almost totally paradoxical. I have also had to learn gradually to get along without apologizing for the fact, even to myself...it is in the paradox itself, the paradox which was and still is a source of insecurity, that I have come to find the greatest security. I have become convinced that the very contradictions in my life are in some ways signs of God’s mercy to me: if only because someone so complicated and so prone to confusion and self-defeat could hardly survive for long without special mercy. And since this in no way depends on the approval of others, the awareness of it is a kind of liberation...Paradoxically, I have found peace because I have always been dissatisfied. My moments of depression and despair turn out to be renewals, new beginnings.” - Thomas Merton, A Thomas Merton Reader
Butterflies are such beautiful and delicate creatures. I love how the light was coming through this guy's wings! He stayed at the lantana for hours! Have a wonderful weekend!!
I tried finding ways to take photos like a stock photo, but not too cliche. Visiting my mum, I found a vase with tulips that were in their last moments of glory. I snapped away with my cell phone and edited in instagram. Love the fresh pink in this. My intention is to expand this collection to create a set of notecards.
Mum called and told me she bought new tulips. No way we are having them in this house - Karel eats them. Of course he does, they are poisonous to him so naturally, he and his continuing death wish are after them.
HBW everyone!
