The simplicity does appeal to me.
I know that there are many images like this on Flickr, but I ask you to contemplate if beauty can ever truly be redundant (or "cliché", as some like to call it)? Would love your thoughts on that question.

Today I went to the Florida Aquarium in Tampa with some new friends, we had a great time, and the kids all enjoyed their playdate. On the way in I seen this bush, man I wish I knew what kind it was. So on the way out, I took the time to capture this beautiful sight.

Life you had, is the life we have
The time you were, is the time we are
Simplicity of life which we are enjoying, is what you lost.
"Ho sempre pensato che la fotografia sia come una barzelletta:
se la devi spiegare non è venuta bene." ~ Ansel Adams
Manifest plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.

This piece of ice rock disappeared into the ocean after a few minutes on shore. It is a reminiscent of life. Our time here is just a short stopover and then we move on.
I am not used to taken such abstract/minimalist photos - what do you guys think? Is less really more? ;)
The theme for this week for the T189 52 week alphabet challenge was diffused glow, although I did not use the PSE filter, I thought the light shining through the snow drops in my garden today fitted the theme perfectly.
Sitting at home a lot thanks to covid, ideal moment to browse through my pictures. Came across this very simple design. Set to BW with Nik and processed a bit with PS.
Today I went to the park and I saw some butterflies flying around, I really wanted to capture an image of them and this was the closest one I got I had to crop it because it didn't come out as I wanted but it's almost there. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement flickr friends, Ill try my best to look at your wonderful streams as soon as I can.
ODC~ 6/7/12 - almost there
There is so much beauty in life
Beauty is a gift of God
Beauty is in the heart wich touches,
another
Simplicity is beauty.
Beauty of sun setting in to ocean,
in evening
Truth is beauty, beauty is truth
Beauty is the best treasure for,
one's eye
the beauty of a love that is real.
Maria Luisa Taylor
“As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.” (Sam Abell quote)

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!

My life seems so complicated these days
When your days seem gone
and your nights are still,
please take the radiating
Love I gave to you.
As you travel into waters,
let the liquid clean and kill,
purge your soul of all that hinders,
allow your mind to still.
Let the flame surround,
burn away all that's bad,
let your tears evaporate,
incinerate the sad.
Feel the wind pass through you,
take away the old,
let the new into your heart,
cherish it like gold.
Walk upon the sliver beach,
let the sand erode the skin,
guide yourself into the sun,
and melt away your sin.
Don't rush down the road of life,
cherish all these, small and big.
Still your life and stop to think -
Take life as it is, even thick and thin
