Just the most amazing light. I cranked up the contrast to make the corners black out and concentrate the eye to the middle of the shot and that light.
An accidental photo. I had been trying to get a focus on something else... a wee small spider I think, but it just wasn't happening and the camera battery was just about to die. I was turning away and this grass type flower popped into focus. Snap! In the end I liked it better than the shot I was trying to get. Funny how stuff happens! :)

In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Leonardo da Vinci said it best: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”.
The way I understand it is that simplicity goes hand in hand with perfection. It shows how beautiful and elegant things are when they are not lost in the detail.
I have never been a believer that beauty is on the surface. Your beauty is inside of you, how you feel, how you represent yourself and finally how you express yourself.
We all have individual beauty. Let yours shine no matter what people think, do not let the social norm be your norm.
Let's enjoy the freedom from complexity, intricacy, or division. Get rid of the luxury, pretentiousness, deceit and guile.
Show the world your simplicity ❣

for all near and far
you are about to see ingredients in a brand new jar
a new truth made in man's image and likeness
a history reviled and forbidden
i will not go thru the curtain offered
it shows a life so uncertain
that our maker is not to be found
no one wants a divine ground
the prophets were thrust into the light
not wanting or knowing what could be right
now we know the truth its plain to see
that it isn't you or me
no we are three made by unity
so in the immortal words of a talent so great
let it be, let it be.
Una solitaria hoja (estaba, no la puse) sobre el asiento de un banco y que lucía maravillosa gracias al único rayo de sol que la iluminaba en ese momento.
Facing new challenges is like exploring uncharted territory; there's excitement in every step forward! Lately, I've been leaning into them with open arms; it's like a rollercoaster ride filled with twists and turns; ups and downs.

Yesterday while visiting a butterfly exhibit with my daughter and her friend I came across a quote that I've never heard before. “The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” ― Dan Millman I love this because there is no need to stay locked in whatever has happened before and is now holding you back. Release that energy and have it help move you forward. Change! It is my word of the year and I need to stay working towards that goal. Are you staying focused on your goals this year? If not, why? Are they really something you want?
“Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.” - Henry D.J. Walden
This is how I feel when I look out my window towards my garden every morning. The plant is another beautiful spring wildflower in my garden called the Celandine Poppy. I love it's cheery yellow bloom but sometimes keeping it simple and looking more closely at just the light it captures and the textures of the plant gives me a more calming feeling. Happy Monochrome Monday!

“The situation I am in now has been given me to change me, if I will only surrender completely to reality as it is given me by God and no longer seek in any way to evade it, even by interior reservations. Hitherto my interior reservation has been always, “Of course there must be something better, and who knows if that is not for me?”
Well there is something better, but it must come out of an inner transformation of my own self, in Christ. What is better is Christ, that is to say, for me to live completely in and by Him. I already do live in Him, of course, but there remains much to be surrendered that still remains “my own.”
January 28, 1963: “Here at the Hermitage, in deep snow, everything is ordinary and silent. Return to reality and to the ordinary, in silence. It is always there if you know enough to return to it. What is not ordinary—the tension of meeting people, discussion, ideas. This too is good and real, but illusion gets into it. The unimportant, words, and images become more important than life. One travels all over vast areas, sitting still in a room, and one is soon tired of so much traveling.”
-Thomas Merton, The Intimate Merton: January 25, 1963

"In a world that glorifies more, choose less. Let your life be filled not with things but with meaning, quiet mornings, the laughter of someone you love, the first sip of coffee. True wealth isn't in possessions but in the beauty of the ordinary. Simplicity isn't emptiness; it is clarity, a life stripped of excess to reveal what truly matters. Slow down, breathe, and notice: happiness isn't something to chase, it's already here, waiting to be seen."
- Olivia Ann Rose
The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
(Proverbs 20:4)
“If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
