The world is really out of order but we have to keep calm. Simplicity is the best way to be now.

人世如此混濁，何處去尋清歡呢？

I went out in the rising tide again to capture this shot. Got stuck in mud several times on the way through the low tide. I put this into black and white to give it a more dramatic look and kept it fairly dark on purpose.

The humble Leggo block, step on one of these suckers without shoes in the middle of the night and you certainly know about it. The words that are used cannot be repeated here....

Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.

open to interpretation. For me I loved the texture and matted look.

I find I am drawn to the simple things in life...

Simple things make me happy...

Does that make me simple?

Single Shot, Simplicity.

Just a shot of rock and clouds, but I was sweating when I took this on a hike at a place I call Clam Butte. The clouds were not pasted into the photo; they were really like this. I hope the lines and colors are pleasing to the eye.

Clam Butte is a high oval-shaped butte on the northern side of Buckskin Gulch near the confluence of the gulch and the Paria River. It's about 300x500m in size, but with a large apron of white rock around it. When I started hiking, I aimed for the white rocks and found them very irregular and difficult to get around. Once I got up above these white-colored layers of sandstone the hiking got easier. I circumnavigated the entire butte on May 2, 2021 and climbed up on top, getting great views in all directions around sunset.

The flat summit of Clam Butte, far above the white layer, is a thick deposit of loose conglomerate with rounded boulders up to football size. That surprised me. Having seen geological pipes at the red "Trophy" layer (see below), I'm wondering if the conglomerate was extruded upward from below. Or perhaps it is a remnant of later deposits above the red layer (Carmel formation?), most of which eroded away from the surrounding land.

I also found some conglomerate two miles north at "Squid Butte." Another remnant a mile to the southeast of Clam ("Slug Butte") looks very difficult to reach above the cliffs of Paria River, but is probably photogenic for some brave explorer. It most likely also has a summit of conglomerate.

I stumbled across this image many years ago not far from where I live and liked the simplicity of it, the sky in the image is how it was at the time.

I went back this summer but unfortunately the tree is dead and many more bushes and small trees have grown on the horizon since, putting paid to that.

Im glad I captured this when I did.

I really liked the modern, elegant simple appearance of this orchid at Longwood Gardens

1/50th sec, f8, ISO100, 24 mm, tripod, polarizer, remote.

I love the serene quietness in this image, its simplicity and almost zen-garden-like quality make me pause and admire nature and creation. It almost conveys the japanese aesthetic principle of Wabi & Sabi loosely translated as; simplicity and and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects
