i just read a commencement speech by martin luther king, jr. he gave the address at oberlin college in 1965. fifty years have passed, yet his words still resonate: "human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability. it comes through the tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals. without this hard work, time becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. we must realize that the time is always right to do right."

 

how can i “do right” today? how can i bring more kindness, integrity, courage, love, wisdom, and compassion into these uncertain times? these are the questions on my mind and in my heart.

 

ps: dr. king's speech is wonderful and apt. it's a worthwhile read, especially on the eve of this presidential inauguration. mlk's words are eerily real yet also hopeful.

Beautiful small leaf with red stripes. This plant was in the Butterfly Garden at Hershey, PA. Don't know the name of the plant..

 

Macro Mondays: #Symmetry

Dutchmen Pipe Leaf vine wrapped around the barbed wire in the late evening bokeh as the sun went down through the trees and the light shining in .I like the way the vine wraps around the barbed wire mingling together and I enjoy the spider webs that are not seen until you look close, My sister gave me this Dutchmen pipe vine many years ago

I went out for a winter walk this afternoon to try and work out how to use the new macro extension tubes. It was really too cold and breazy to get much, however, I did find this nice leaf in amongst the grass on the path.

Macro Mondays group...."just leaves"

Leaf Luck.... I wanted to capture the lines of the leaf and lo and behold....there was a green tree frog inside. Surprised me when I saw him through the lens....since these leaves reside just outside our front door in our home's garden in North Texas....

A leaf from one of our blueberry bushes, the gift of a friend, taken yesterday. Straight out of the camera. Blueberry leaves are rather small, perhaps 2 inches/6 cm in length.

 

Isn't God a great artist? Thanks for looking!

Seen in Chudleigh Knighton in Devon.

Lotus leaf after the rain. Seen on Inle Lake, Myanmar / Burma.

The surface structure of the leaf reminds me of some photos taken through an electron microscope.

The leaf of a tree is the earth's endless effort to communicate with the sky.
