Here's my submission for FlickrFriday's "Keep It Simple" theme.
So why this photo, well when I was thinking of something for this week's theme I was torn between a few different photo's but which direction, technique or subject, maybe a combination... After pondering this with an Earl Grey tea and a biscuit (very British you know) I decided that there was a "Keep It Simple" photo opportunity sitting right there in front of me.
I went for a clean background to help link the simple and refreshing theme. "Keep It Simple" with no Milk or Sugar :-)
Dec. 1 - I have been working with a former student on an essay which features the word "simple." Thus my photo eye lead me to the dictionary for my picture of the day! How interesting that the definition for "simple" is much longer than for other words. This causes me to wonder how simple is "simple"?
I chuckle to see "simple" used in mathematical terms across this dictionary page! Ha! Many of my former math students didn't think "simple fractions" and "simple equations" to be so simple.
Also, I enjoyed thinking about the etymology of the words or phrases for various words on this dictionary page. In which books or journals were these simple mathematical terms first seen in ink: simple fraction (1728) and simple equation (1758)?
Studying the word "simple" is simply fascinating! Did you know a simple fraction = common fraction = vulgar fraction? (www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-vul1.htm)

Pattern: New Look 6217.
Mods: lengthened sleeves, added about 1cm at underarm for FBA, straightened hem, raised front neck edge, button back, two small darts in the back for slight waist shaping.
Fabric: a piece of linen from my grandmother's stash that I dyed two years ago. I was all determined to sew it up straight away and not let it sit in the cupboard... Ahem, well, here it is.
The linen is lovely and soft already. That prominent stripe that runs right across about 1cm below the "bust apex" (read: nipples) is a little unfortunate, but I don't think it looks too bad on; I chose the placement based on the bottom edge and only had just enough fabric anyway. Seams are overcast and then stitched down, not quite as pretty as other options but I didn't want to add any bulk. The neck and hem are finished with bias tape (Liberty misprint).
Photo taken in Kasepuhan Ciptagelar, Indonesia. I was visiting this village in january 2014 and felt in love with his inhabitants and their simple life. Far from the city far from the stress far from the daily routine. If you have "eyes" you can feel a real inner peace in these people.

I can think of few more simple pleasures - when the weather is warm enough - than walking barefoot across a sandy beach.
'Take only photographs, leave only footprints' is as good a message as any to keep our wild places wild and unspoilt. And for some reason I have started to combine the two, so will now occasionally stop to take a photograph of one of my footprints as a kind of zero-impact souvenir - a way of saying 'I was there' I suppose.
This one was left amongst the dunes at Cul na Croise beach at Gortenfern on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, on Friday 16th October 2015.
