A newspaper, a deckchair, and a beach - what more could you ask for? (actually, a couple more degrees of warmth would have been nice, it was very cold, lol)
Sometimes the simple things in life are the most beautiful. This flower is proof of that!
I took this shot several years ago in The Park of Honor, which was formerly known as Sensory Park. It is the only one of the parks in the area that had braille on the plaques that told visitors what kinds of flowers and plants were there. It ended up being renamed, and I haven't been back since to see if the braille markers are still there. I'm thinking they may have realized that it wasn't going to work because they would have to change the plaques every time they replanted new flowers in the garden. Many of the area parks do change things up seasonally, or after particularly bad storm years.
This shot was one I already edited some time ago, but wasn't completely happy with, so I re-did it. It was quite noisy, and I'm still not completely satisfied with it, but after looking at the original edit, I much prefer this one. The SOOC and original are both below.

I was debating whether or not to upload this but since I do not have my camera anymore (sold it), I decided to just upload this.
One of the joys of being an 'avid' gardener is to simply enjoy strolling through the different sections and wonder at the beauty of nature.
As simple as it it. It is a very classical fruits & vegetables shop here in China. No need to invest a lot, some boxes on the floor and here we go. The house behind the seller might be her home, and she just doing her business in front of her door... This is life in the Hutong, this is China!

Simple corniform signs: Mont Bégo
Further to the north of Mont Bégo in the Valcomonica petroglyph megasite, can be seen dated corniform signs from the neolithic e.g. the 'roche de la Baita'. As with Mont Bégo, corniform signs can also be seen here linked with yokes - forming an early representation of a 'living tractor' - the kind that will have also been employed for ploughing and during the movement of erratic monoliths, trees and megaliths. Whilst most of the glyphs around the Mont Bégo site are certainly Bronze age, it must be very difficult to say categorically that certain of the more simple examples are not neolithic, with the rule of thumb being that heavily simplified schematic glyphs are neolithic with representational details arriving for the chalcolithic and Bronze age. Thus the above simple signs need to be seen in contrast with more detailed corniform signs (see below). They may be of the later date, they may not. They may have exactly the same 'meaning' as more complicated corniforms - they may not.
The importance of the corniform sign to Mont Bégo cannot be underestimated, and there is a statistic that if you factor out unformed marks and scratches and only count 'symbols' and 'representations', then corniforms make up close to 80% of all petroglyphs. Seeing the wide variety of expression within the category of corniform, and it can be said that the ideas associated with the corniform symbol were taken by a diverse population to a zone above the agricultural line and onto bleak but mesmerising geological spaces. Mont Bégo, with it's Vallée des Merveilles and Vallée de Fontanalba was a focus for corniform 'cow signs' and understanding the dynamic range of these signs seems to be a task. For the record, there are plentiful examples of small pecks and scratches, and even when these are included, the statistic for corniforms runs to 46% of the 30,000 or so petroglyphs.
Top left: two corniform signs. See how there is no hint of a 'real' structure: these are not direct descriptions of a subject be it a cow-form hut, a stretching skin, a cow's scull, a cow, a tool (with the horns tipped inwards the would not make a pitch fork) or cow/human spirit - the lines seem to have starting to drift towards raw symbols.
Top right : The corniform has an appearance of a jubilant humanoid. Under are two 'rouelles' or spoked 'suns'. One has six 'rays' and the other five. Others similar signs can be seen with eight spokes. These are vivid but neither systematic or common to the Mont Bégo site, so however simple and eye catching they may appear, they do not seem to be representative of the site's 'zeitgeist'. The variety of the number of branches suggests to me an informal sign and not a rigorous symbol of, for example, a sun deity. Further to the north in the Valcamonica rock art site, there are seemingly indubitable sun-like petroglyph symbols with the 'rays attached to a central circle dated to the neolithic. These seem to be more conclusively suns, and the above radiants may simply be expressive and jubilant decorations associated with decorated cows and festivals. If they are aligned to a sun God then the position on the rock is small and to the side, so subordinate. With the 'corniform' on the verge of 'dancing', a description of 'festival' and joy on the corner of a vast petrogliphic surface may be a coherent explanation. As with the image top left, excluding a neolithic date for these signs would seem to me to be difficult even though they are surrounded by multiple petroglyphs that are know to be bronze age.
Lower left : It is very easy to see that two methods were used to produce this image. 'Pecking' and then 'scratching' with no great innovations from the great paleolithic rock art site of the Coa valley. The rock surface is very hard, and today pecking might involve a hole punch and a hammer - no great change, just a need for a sharp wrist action and eye concentration. The scratching is not always present (some may also be from historical visitors) and involves a repeated action to break the peaks between the pecks and in so doing creating a unified image. This mix of technique may have repeated on a larger scale during the late prehistoric periods for regional earthworks. Studies of some large earthworks show that ditches were first made as a series of pits and then broken through to create the large ditch enclosures we can see today. There are many surfaces where the best way to dig a pit is by driving down many deep holes using a weighted pole with a chiseled end. Adding water can speed up the process by creating shatter pressures and colloids that squirt out on their own. Messy but fast. Once a series of vertical perforations has been made, these can be broken through by levering a large pole, with the rubble of the pit removed. Two pits next to each other in the envisaged line of, let's say, a henge ditch, with the dividing wall battered down and antler picks used to clean up the ruts and imperfections. Today, predictive calculations for the time taken to make prehistoric earthworks are often made using only the final antler picks - as if you cook for one hundred using only a serving spoon - which can lead to dramatic statistics and truly vast numbers of hours required. This can make prehistory look like a repetitive and gruelling adventure in space-time or, force it to approach some of slave based monuments of early civilisation.
Lower right : A purely abstract sign again with humanoid overtones - a certain joy. The curling of the horns suggests an animal like a mouflon or a goat rather than a cow. Around Mont Bégo there are rare glyphs that I did not manage to photograph that are understood to be of goats. As with Soay sheep, the mouflon is an archaic variety - an early variety of sheep that has returned to the wild. They are easy to see today and unlike Isards, they retain a slight domestication and can wait to have their picture taken while still looking very wild. A very small corniform is also present top left of this image.
In conclusion, within the category of corniform there may be two qualitatively different glyphs with the above examples within the 'simple signs' group.

As we live through passage of time...we plow memories, sow hope & grow wisdom [or simply grow old..:)]...yet..we'll be welcoming another new year..
With all hope & dream,
Best wishes,
Renew resolution......
Many forget the simplest joy of living....being Alive that is......able to greet morning & saying goodbye to night.....The Simple Joy.
Have a Blessed New Years my Friends.
Funny how a simple change can give a totally different perspective. So this was taken at the same time as the previous photo except here I have my hair up. Still no makeup just him with a high ponytail. To the casual passers-by I would look on first glance like a woman. All because of the hair.
Ever since I first passed by this point, I have had this image in my mind. A very simplistic view of a stunning little corner of Scotland.
How adorable is this My Favorite Things elephant! 🐘

Just came across this beautiful, simple cake. It's from a book called Organic and Chic by Sarah Magid.
It's the simple things that stir my soul
And warm my heart as embers of coal.
A cardinal's pomp on a dogwood perch;
The toll of a bell that beckons to church;
A golden sky at the end of day;
A train whistle heard from miles away;
A knitted scarf to cover my head;
The smell of hay or fresh-baked bread;
Smoke that lingers low in the pines;
Berries in summer covering their vines;
Hot apple pie and a cold glass of milk;
Baby's skin that's as smooth as silk;
A wooly worm with rings of brown;
The tower clock in the center of town;
Tulips in spring; a mockingbird's call;
Things so simple, I cherish them all.
