Ok, so maybe it’s not such a simple abstract….

Detail shot of Whittle Arch, public art installation in Coventry, England. It is dedicated to Sir Frank Whittle, the inventor of the turbojet engine, who was born in Coventry.

 

The arches are one of two steel complex torsion structures built in 2003 designed by architects MacCormac Jamieson Pritchard.

 

I believe they were designed to resemble vapour trails.

 

The building through the arch is 'Millenium View', student accomodation in Coventry, England.

"The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong." - Laura Ingalls Wilder

 

These past few days have felt like summer with warm temperatures, sunny skies and trees turning that wonderful lime green with new leaves. So I have been distracted from Flickr by doing the things I love to do in the summer. My garden is looking so great. I worked on an art project for my garden as well as tidied up the weeds. I have enjoyed watching all the beautiful birds visit my backyard and a few of them build nests. We have meals on our back deck which feels like camping. We hike long urban hikes which includes our local park. Then last night we camped out all night in our backyard.

 

The Trilliums are out and I said I wouldn't take any more Trillium pictures because I have so many good ones in my files. However, there was the odd one posed so nicely that it caught my attention. This one had such a gentle Purple/red color compared to the others in its group that I honored it with a portrait. It also made me stop to realize that I normally would take this pictures on the Bruce Trail. With that trail being closed right now I was glad to see the blooms in our own park nearby.

 

I also realized that it was the simple pleasures of outdoor experiences I love so much and it didn't really matter where these things happened. It can be in our own backyard. The things we see every year can be beautiful each time you see them again if you use fresh eyes.

"I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else."

This week has been one filled with clichés. First the beach, then the grass...so today I'm doing cherries. I was obsessed with cherries last year. I had big people and little people holding bowls of cherries, I used long lenses, I used prime lenses. I had people stand in different light with the bowl, in the garden, in front of a white sheet. All sorts.

Last night, I snapped these before we ate them. It was so much simpler!

Finding beauty alongside the creek near my backyard.

Shadows and silhouettes. Looking through the window of a derelict warehouse in West Yorkshire on a sunny day.

 

The light showing through the space where the roof once was has created an abstract feel to the dilapidated structure behind the window.

Feliz aniversário, meu caro irmão! :-)

Somewhere along the way

I got caught up in the race

I kept spinning and turning

Lost myself my hope my faith

 

We're always wanting more than what we have

And what I've learned is all I really need are...

 

The simple things

That come without a price

The simple things

Like happiness joy and love in my life

I've seen it all from so many sides

And I hope you would agree

The best things in life

Are the simple things

 

Hey everybody don't get me wrong you got to understand ambition and knowledge

Are the seeds of every woman and man

 

It's good to work... work hard and prosper

As long as you take time to find...

 

The simple things

That come without a price

The simple things

Like happiness joy and love in my life

I've seen it all from so many sides

And I hope you would agree

That the best things in life

Are the simple things

 

Solo

 

This world moves so fast

Sometimes you got to slow down, down, down

To find out what its all about

 

We're always wanting more than what we have

What I've learned, is what I really need are

 

The simple things

That come without a price

The simple things

Like happiness joy and love in my life

I've seen it all from so many sides

And I hope you would agree

The best things in life

Are the simple things

This is a Cubist villa designed by the French architect, Paul Sinoir in the 1930s. Yves St Laurent lived at the house from the early 1980s until his death.

 

The house was built in the Majorelle Garden, a two and half acre botanical garden and artist's landscape garden in Marrakech, Morocco. It was created by the French Orientalist artist, Jacques Majorelle.

... just torch ... on a piece of paper in a dark room ...

Life is so busy... it seems to go by in a quick blur! Sometimes you just have to "stop and smell the... flowers."

 

Sometimes you just have to stop and appreciate the small things in life!

 

On a vacation last year, somewhere on the road between North Carolina and Tennessee these flowers were everywhere and I just had to get some pictures of them.

…seemed like a good place to start again…

Just sitting at my desk on this snowy/rainy afternoon.
