I felt like simplicity and minimalism today. The background is a texture from Sh4un65, which I then tweaked a bit here and there. See first comment for the link.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

I have been reminded why I don't like sunrise shots - it's because you get up at suicidal o'clock and if you live in the North of the UK are more than often rewarded with a dull non existant sunrise. Today was one of those mornings. Quite pleased I managed to pull this out of what was otherwise a very unfruitful trip to Marsden.

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life. ~John Burroughs

Noble..... After reading the above quote, I can't help but think of our conversation yesterday.... that words fall short and are never quite enough to describe the beauty that surrounds us. Sometimes, all we can do is stand silently and gaze in awe.

Don't play me a symphony,

A simple song will do

If I were using watercolors, this is how I would want my painting to look. I wanted to capture the softness and rolling beauty of the colors and forms in the Palouse. I had no paints or brushes . . . only my camera.

*** Thank you for viewing my portfolio and have a good day everyone!. ✌ ***

stamattina giusto in tempo per caricare la foto e poi ...puff... internet non è più andato fino adesso U_U

Volevo mostrare a tutti, al di là della semplicità di questo scatto, la bravura del Tamron, la nitidezza, la messa a fuoco..

desideravo da così tanto, ma così tanto un obiettivo macro *_*

Thanks to my friend kabraloka_kbl for letting me use this cool tool. The lightbulb was weld from behind so the cable wasn't visible in the photo.

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

I'm in the middle of watching Bourdain's Parts Unknown in the DRC, and it reminded me of my trip to Tibet. The DRC is one of two trips (with the KKH in Pakistan being the other) that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do. When I was younger, I watched TV shows about the bush pilots and more recently followed a couple's journey traversing the country. I can only hope the situation in the world improves and I can do both; if not, I am so happy, heartbroken, and stirred to be able to travel with Bourdain tonight.

I found a stash of old Simplicity sewing patterns in a box of stuff I got from an auction! SO fun to see these things! Mom used to make all our clothes when we were kids. Made me remember the look of the patterns and the smell of a fabric shop!
