“Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy”
― Isaac Newton
Have a great Sunday and week ahead!
I have faith that yields to none,
and ways without reproach,
and unadorned simplicity,
and blushing modesty.
-Ovid, Amores
Simplicity - absence of luxury, pretentiousness, ornament, etc.; plainness

This little flower has so much will power. Its one of few that are still in bloom dispite the cold. Poor thing looked so lonely =[

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!

This week Texture Tuesday we were to use one layer of Kim Klassen's texture called "Simplicity". I used two layers on this each at a lowed opacity and masked some off the flower especially the center.
During the Spring and early Summer, fog usually comes in from the ocean in the late afternoon/early evening along the Southern California coast, which makes seeing sunsets somewhat of a rarity at this time of year. On this occasion, however, there was an ocean-ward flow of air and I raced from my home to Santa Monica (just a few km away) in hopes of catching a multi-hued, technicolor sunset. I must admit I was a little disappointed at first by the subtlety of the colours I saw in the sky, until a brief moment just as the sun dipped behind the hills above Malibu; the entire horizon was painted in pastel, from salmon-pink to the faintest aqua. I was reminded that sometimes the greatest beauty is found in simplicity. Photographed in Santa Monica, California.

One of the things I had constantly in my mind while in Antarctica was that although the place is very different from the rest of the world there are also a lot of commonalities. Take the deserts from this part of the world as an example. When you take a close-up image of the desert you’ll usually find some very simple leading lines and this was very similar in Antarctica with lines created by the sky, the snow and the shadows.
Taking this sort of simple, less is more type of shot is not always as easy as it looks. The simpler the image the more obvious will any mistakes be. The composition needs to be really balanced for an image like this to work and I’m finding these type of photographs really useful in helping me with my commercial work and in particular with my interior photography. This is because interior photographs usually need to be really airy and bright with as little clutter as possible, which is why it’s so important to make sure your composition leads the eyes through the image, inviting the viewer into the space you are photographing.

I like the soft glow this little bolt creates through the rain. Just a simple one to contrast the last upload.

And I can tell you...right now I need to keep everything as simple as possible.

I decided to try to come up with something else using the same elements as my other shot for this challenge and I like this one better. Maybe not quite as simple but simple nonetheless. I hope everyone's week is going good so far.
Leonardo da Vinci once said that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Simplicity in design calms us and somehow inspires us, not only in architecture but also in other forms of design. Apple, for example, has refined its products over the years to such a beautiful simplicity that the products have become collectibles based on their design alone.
