Macro Mondays.....wabi-sabi.....
In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence specifically impermanence, suffering and emptiness or absence of self-nature. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes.
The last days of a once fine round crib near Lostant,IL. When I was in 6th grade I played in an elementary school basketball tournament-I bet this crib looked a lot better those 45 years ago.I'm getting old! LOL
This is still a nice old round crib,built a little different than most.I'll post a pic of the complete structure later...
Smile on Saturday - "Football Fever"
Many thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
Gently sprinkled with pollen...
This one is a vibrant and hot pink with a white frill.
The waiting buds only just peeping out.
Summer is slowly leaving us in a flurry of colour.
Named for the shape of their leaves, like blades, gladioli – from the Latin word “gladius,” meaning sword – have a history that spans from Africa to the Mediterranean.
Symbolising strength and moral integrity, gladioli also represent infatuation, with a bouquet conveying to a recipient that they pierce the giver’s heart with passion. How romantic!
Thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Sunset, Saranac Lake, Adirondacks, NY.
How many evenings have I waited through, watching my exposure drop with each passing minute. Sunset has no integrity. What may have been spectacular last night, with the same type of day as today, won't necessarily happen again. Clouds are always a help, but not an absolute. Sometimes there's a glow that just keeps intensifying, with a perfectly clear sky. Then there are days with the right combination of cloud cover proportionate to sky and horizon to light the world on fire. If conditions look right, expectations rise. But there is no honesty. I have been set up so many times with what looked like perfection, only to see it fizzle at the last. Too often, the sky can go neutral in an instant, the clouds turning white to gray without a hint that color ever even existed. It's not exactly lying. It is more like someone pretending to be one thing, and not being who you thought she was at all. You wonder, when she's holding out that promise, what pleasure she takes in deserting you, in being unfaithful. On this night, though, she has my back. As the ridgelines become erotic silhouettes, I ache at the colors of desire thrown up--the heat of the yellows, the warmth of the oranges, the passion of the pinks. And sadden at how quickly they fade into that vault of ice above. After so many disappointments, I shake my head at how easily I am seduced by the fulfillment. I've learned not to trust anything, except that there will be a sunrise, and there will be a sunset, even if there is nothing to be seen. Sunset has no integrity, but I do. I keep returning, every time it calls for the lust of it, I guess. But tomorrow, I will be in a different place, with a different feeling in my heart. And maybe I'll find a sunset that doesn't fade to blue.
Life is a wheel of fortune and it’s my turn to spin it, so be true to what you see and say, or else!
“A life lived with integrity - even if it lacks the trappings of fame and fortune is a shining star in whose light others may follow in the years to come.”
