I was sitting in the garden in my hometown with my cousin(2007), a little tired after running around trying to photograph butterflies and bees. I was running out of subjects to photograph and was telling my cousin that even the simplest thing can make a decent photograph. Spontaneously I picked up a piece of grass and clicked this photo :-)

Today's daily inspiration was #simplicity.
So many things that seem simple, in truth, are very complex. A feather, a flame, a seed.
Because of some complications, the simplicity of a flame alludes me. I am without a cooktop still, so I need to figure out a way to use my order of kumquats before they rot if candied kumquats, marmalade, and cinnamon kumquats are no longer an option.
This seems an excellent opportunity, therefore, to finally try my hand at bitters making. Therefore I will be attempting to make a kumquat bitters, which should go well in the newly concocted house cocktail, titled an "I Beg You Pardon?" I'll let you know how it fares.

Tonight's image was shot in the town of Greece, Monroe County in upstate New York, near Lake Ontario. We were visiting my daughter and her husband up there in May.
While visiting, we were in search of places to photograph and I had heard about an area called Braddock Bay WMA, which is quite unique in that its a WMA with a rural area. As we drove around the area, stopping for a variety of small wildlife and birds, I happened to notice that the air was quite still. On one of the lakes that comprise the area, the homes that lined the shore were reflected with perfection onto the water's surface.
I love this image (OK, it's actually Tom's image) because of the simplicity that for me it represents. The area was so laid back, quiet, and serene - a far cry from where I reside locally in south Florida - with its crowds, development, and hustle/bustle about it. The air was cool and crisp - without the heaviness of the humidity I reside in also. Yes, it was quite literally a contrast in terms from what I call home.... and I liked it!
I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend in store for them. I hoping for a bit of a laid back one myself. :-). Thanks for stopping by to view and for all of your comments.
