“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Happy Sliders Sunday!
THE VERY OLD ONE SINGS:
there is not more in little
nor is there less
still is uncertain what was
what is to be will be will-less
first when it is it is serious
fruitless it recollects itself
and stays in great haste
everything of worth is defenceless
grows rich from touchability
and equal to everything
like the heart of time
like the heart of time
Lucebert

Old doors constitute a History Map. Every patch, every mending, every decorative element, stand for decisions or events that, wheather meaningless or not, got intentionally or serendipitiously trapped making up unique textures.
Las viejas puertas son un mapa de Historia. Cada parche, cada reparación, cada elemento decorativo representan decisiones o sucesos que, insignificantes o no, quedaron atrapados intencionada o involuntariamente formando texturas únicas.

Another scenic picture of Iceland submitted by Gian-Reto Tarnutzer and remixed by me.
On the surface the icebergs look so small an insignificant however deep down they are large behemoths of ice mass. I guess we can also look at humanity in this same fashion. Although some people reveal very little, get to know them and their story is deep and moving.
He sees me, and at once, swift as a bird,
Ascends the neighbouring beech; there whisks his brush,
And perks his ears, and stamps and scolds aloud,
With all the prettiness of feign'd alarm,
And anger insignificantly fierce.
These little flowers on the Choisya can appear quite small and somewhat insignificant in the garden but are actually quite beautiful in close up.
Hope everyone is having a good week :)
Gracias a todos por vuestras visitas y comentarios.

Drawn from his refuge in some lonely elm
That age or injury has hollow'd deep,
Where, on his bed of wool and matted leaves,
He has outslept the winter, ventures forth
To frisk a while, and bask in the warm sun,
The squirrel, flippant, pert, and full of play.
He sees me, and at once, swift as a bird,
Ascends the neighbouring beech; there whisks his brush,
And perks his ears, and stamps and scolds aloud,
With all the prettiness of feign'd alarm,
And anger insignificantly fierce.
"There is nothing insignificant in the world. It all depends on the point of view."

If you want to try it too, there are several tutorials on YouTube, like this one.
It is not so difficult and no glue needed, have fun folding ;-))
The squirrel, flippant, pert, and full of play.

And anger insignificantly fierce.
Look at your life in contrast with the magnitude of creation, space and time. Your life becomes insignificant. Ego disappears.
-- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
View from Blacks Lookout at Whalers Way Sanctuary, Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.
The waves were very strong as it crashes against the cliffs and rocks. As it recedes the water will cascade down the rocks like mini waterfalls.
Standing here and looking out, you feel so small and insignificant
against the might and power of nature.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves....it is always appreciated.
Peaceful Travel Tuesday
Life is a series of steps. Things are done gradually. Once in a while there is a giant step, but most of the time we are taking small, seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life.

“I had already found that it was not good to be alone, and so made companionship with what there was around me, sometimes with the universe and sometimes with my own insignificant self; but my books were always my friends, let fail all else.”
― Joshua Slocum, Sailing Alone around the World
Of relatively insignificant height (232m/761ft), but high in archaeological significance since the summit has two interlocking hill-forts plus cup-and-ring marked rocks a short distance away, It has pretty stunning views to the Cheviots too!

Just a path, that winds through a small, secluded and quiet valley, somewhere in this world, and the path disappears behind the small knoll. Insignificant, not spectacular, but it's just there. And everyone who uses it enjoys its existence and its function. Without saying a word or a thought about it. Did he deserve it?
Behind the numbers, this is what frigid looks like. The truly cold winter weather always arising with a high bringing bright sunny skies with insignificant clouds if any. Without wind and with adequate clothing, a brief venture outside is still possible...with emphasis on the word "brief." Here, a shot from the road leading from my house shows that we still don't have a lot of snow, but a storm is in the forecast following several more days in the deep freeze with even colder temps predicted for the weekend. And winter has not even officially arrived yet...
