"Tucked away. Almost forgot. Life is lived beyond anyone's thought. At the foot of the hills where simplicity dwells. Live is lived, and it's lived well."
Near Judith Gap, Montana
A little water weed growing out of Upper Lake Mary (near Flagstaff, AZ). Pretty much as shot, I just upped the shadows a bit to bring out the texture of the water surface.

This dress has an elastic waist but feel it needs a belt so it's not too boring. I don't wear this dress much but think it will be in rotation more often this summer with my favorite rainbow polka dot wedges.
I read on someones blog, that someone else was doing a ZT "simplicity" challenge on their blog...so here is my "simplicity", not so sure it is entangle though.
No belt

I made the wrap version, with the short sleeves and the belt.
The fabric is a cotton voile from Westminster Fibers, in a colorway that is ideal for someone with three black and white dogs.
I thought the fabric would be too sheer to wear without a slip or lining but it turns it's absolutely fine without, which is great. This a perfect summer dress.

Trying to capture falling feathers - not very simple! The quote is apt.
Note to self: Think of something more simple next time!

This was from our first night in WA. The beach was just couple of minutes walk from the Coogee holiday park we were staying that night.
We were just sitting on the beach, enjoying the first sunset in the west, occasionaly clicking the button on our cameras
I wish I could go back .-)

This image is for Kim Klassen's Be Still 52 Week 4. Kim introduced us to the concept of wabi sabi, which I'd never heard of before. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity), simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. I chose to photograph these orchid blooms for a touch of the oriental influence in a soft simplistic manner to express one of the characteristics of wabi sabi. I have a new-found and great appreciation for wabi sabi.
