Love this pink sparkly little party dress! It's delicate and dreamy and makes me feel all good inside !
One of the majestic crags to be found in Zion National Park. If you zoom in, you can see growth in places that seem impossible to support life! (In addition to all the greenery popping up out of the cracks in the stone wall, there is also a crop of little yellow flowers thriving at the very top.) It's inspiring to meditate of the beauty of life in all its forms.
I continue to be amazed by the variations of colour in the rock layers and the different shades they take on depending on the light and time of day. The sky can also be the most brilliant blue, or as here, a softer aqua. Getting away from cities and out into the natural world can bring sunshine to your day and a spring to your step....try it :-)
"Life is an Opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is Beauty, admire it.
Life is a Dream, realize it.
Life is a Challenge, meet it.
Life is a Duty, complete it.
Life is a Game, play it.
Life is a Promise, fulfill it.
Life is Sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a Song, sing it.
Life is a Struggle, accept it.
Life is a Tragedy, confront it.
Life is an Adventure, dare it.
Life is Luck, make it.
Life is Life, Fight for it."
~ Mother Teresa
7500 feet up in the Colorado mountains you come upon a rushing little stream under a blue forever Summer sky. Life DOES flow!

Posted this shot before; added some color.
Been having a look at an image taken back in July of 2022, taken whilst on a visit to the Lake District, we were enjoying one of our favorite location/walks, the Elterwater to Skelwith Bridge walk.
It's a shot I'd had in mind for a while, sadly we had missed the best of the lillies, however this shot shows the life cycle of this water plant.
I've given the original shot quite a harsh crop to get it to where it is now, darkened the background whilst still maintaining the vibrance of the leaves

beautiful things

but felt
with the heart.
Wishing you

When it rains, Leipzig becomes one of the most beautiful Cities I have ever seen. I love to go out and shoot a lot.

“Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
― Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species
I MAY have this habit of taking nude self portraits in the middle of the forest. TOTALLY an everyday normal thing. I saw this tree hollow in the middle, covered in moss and I just couldn't help but take a photo with this beautiful tree! It was damp and muddy but still it was something worth it. Good thing there weren't any leeches at that time or else there would have been leeches on my ass and I wouldn't even know it.
But over all this place is magical! And needs to be visited again real soon by me!
