Ever since I recently decided to try getting some shots of the Milky Way, I find myself looking forward to the new moon each month during Milky Way season. I plan my vacations and camping trips around the new moon, and enjoy looking for interesting objects that I can use to frame the shots. The night sky has an interesting way of making me feel pretty insignificant, but is very relaxing and is good therapy (for not worrying about small stuff I guess)!
Life is a series of steps. Things are done gradually. Once in a while there is a giant step, but most of the time we are taking small, seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life.
Ralph Ransom

In Eisenstadt, the capital of the Austrian federal state of Burgenland. With 301,311 inhabitants, this state is the least populous in Austria, and the small capital has only 15,729 inhabitants. This insignificant town belongs to the commuter area of Vienna, which is about 55 km away.
However, the Social Democratic governor of this tiny state, Hans Peter Doskozil, likes to show off and pretend that his state is of any importance. In this way, he has completely confused the Social Democratic Party of all of Austria.

Sun is flooding puny Earth, a random place somewhere on the break of morning. Insignificant amount of star light makes everything grow in golden, soft and warm. Few moments of amazing sight, before it vanishes in diffusion. It will come again and again, billions of morning starlights yet to come...
We had a brilliant day walking the Stackpole to Bosherton cliffs recently, which has to be one of my favourite walks. Every time you walk it there's always a different highlight, and this time it was Spring Squill. Even though it's an insignificant flower on its own, en masse it's just this delicate blue carpet! It doesn't come over well in photos, and this was the best I could manage! Splendor in the grass by Simon Felice is just right!

Comienza dentro de una pequeña semilla
Y lo que pensamos como insignificante
Proporciona el aire más puro que respiramos
Pero ¿quién soy yo para dudar o cuestionar el inevitable ser
Para estos son sólo algunos descubrimientos
Encontramos dentro de la Vida Secreta de las Plantas
I can't conceive the nucleus of all
Begins inside a tiny seed
And what we think as insignificant
Provides the purest air we breathe
But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plant
The dark doesn't hide your lies.
How insignificant your desire, your love....

“To hear never-heard sounds,
To see never-seen colors and shapes,
To try to understand the imperceptible
Power pervading the world;
To fly and find pure ethereal substances
That are not of matter
But of that invisible soul pervading reality.
To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul;
To be a lantern in the darkness
Or an umbrella in a stormy day;
To feel much more than know.
To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a mountain;
To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon;
To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves;
To be an insignificant pedestrian on the streets
Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching.
To be a smile on the face of a woman
And shine in her memory
As a moment saved without planning.”

Cornus kousa, commonly called Kousa dogwood, is a small, deciduous flowering tree or multi-stemmed shrub that typically grows 15-30’ tall, with a vase-shaped habit in the early years but eventually maturing to a more rounded form. Bloom occurs in late spring. The showy parts of the Kousa dogwood “flower” (3-5” across) are the four narrowly pointed petal-like white bracts which surround the center cluster of insignificant, yellowish-green, true flowers. Flowers are followed by berry-like fruits (to 1” diameter) which mature to a pinkish red in summer and persist into fall. Fruits are technically edible, but are usually left for the birds. Oval, pointed leaves (to 4” long) are dark green, but usually turns attractive shades of reddish-purple to scarlet in autumn. Mottled, exfoliating, tan and gray bark on mature trees is attractive in winter. [...].
‘Satomi’Flower bracts vary in color intensity from light pink to deep pink to rose pink depending on a number of factors including landscape placement, cultural conditions and geography. Abundant flowering occurs in June. Deep green foliage turns attractive shades of red in autumn. Red fruits in autumn are attractive but not very tasty. [...].
[In summary]: Pink flowers in Spring, red fall fruit and purplish-red fall foliage color make this cultivar stunning. MBG
The leaves of "Salsa Begonia" look almost as if they are painted with red and cream tones. The blossoms are insignificant, but the leaves bring life to a dull winter's day. This particular leaf (still on the plant) is approximately 3" (8 cm) long and 2" wide (5 cm).

The paper train makes it's way through the beautiful Derwent Valley on it's way from Boyer to Burnie with it's loading of paper products. Despite their great power and modern design the leading TR Locomotives TR05 + TR13 with their loading, full of paper products bound for Burnie, look rather insignificant within the landscape with their train number 5-32 as it wends it's way through it's huge and picturesque surroundings, following the Derwent River towards Bridgewater Junction and then join the Main Southern Line Northbound.

The surface of the lake shimmered with silvery ripples, carrying the fallen leaves to the shore. In that meeting between water and autumn, where the world seems to stand still, holding its breath in the face of such beauty. These moments, insignificant to many, are what inspire me to continue cultivating faith and hope. (HSS)

When we look up, it widens our horizons. We see what a little speck we are in the universe, so insignificant, and we all take ourselves so seriously, but in the sky, there are no boundaries.

I suppose it's perspective, but any problems I thought I had seemed somewhat insignificant out here.
While I was staying at the hotel in the desert, my early mornings and late afternoons were filled photographing the sand dunes. I wasn't the only one who enjoyed these quiet reflective times.
The tiny, insignificant flowers of the Cursed Crowfoot attracted my attention when I saw a solitary plant growing in the shallow water of the marsh. As I walked further, I came across this mass of plants that crowded out any other type of plant. The tiny flowers had become members of a powerful stand of poisonous plants that could repel sleeveless "interlopers", as they may cause rashes or blistering when they contact bare skin.
In these tumultuous times, perhaps Mother Nature is sending a message (or at least an example.)
On an insignificant shore during,
An insignificant afternoon,
A moment of pause within a frenzied day,
On this plinth I rest with you.
After all the climbing efforts to capture,
An elusive view of that starfish,
You speak of the beauty around us,
This is it, the sense of place.
Here, I find.
