"Simplicity" - I discovered this while Surfing around through Zentangle Blogs -was the Diva's first weekly challenges. If I had been doing Zentangle back then, I would have entered this as my answer to that challenge.
Taken for Our Daily Challenge - Simplicity.
4 sheets of white paper.
One lamp.
One website showing how to make paper boats.
No photoshop.
Just the simple basics.
From I am the Diva (http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/2010/12/weekly-challenge-1.html) came our Weekly Challenge to create a Zentangle thinking about the idea of "Simplicity." I decided to create a very simple 'vortex' string, make a feature of nothingness (ultimate simplicity), and forgoing shading. I haven't yet decided if I will go back to it and add shading (which is why I haven't initialled it yet). I also photographed it on my Zentangle kit box - which also represents elegant simplicity to me.
الحياة البسيطة و الرضا كانا من اهم التعاليم في حياة الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام :
" عندما ترى شخص يملك من المال و الحسن أكثر منك، فانظر لمن لديه الأقل"، وبهذا سوف تشكر الله على عطاياه بدلا من ان تشعر بالحرمان.

Kim's quotation fits so well:
"Organization makes a system of many appear fewer." ~ John Maeda, The Laws of Simplicity
And I might add: Organization makes simple things look unique and precious.
David took us to an amazing location over looking the Barrington Tops. Such contrasts; from trees, valleys, to stark bareness. Hunter Valley workshop with David Oliver and his daughter Clare.
Went out and explored the bayou once again yesterday morning. There was not a lot to be had as the sun fought its way through the few clouds that were clinging to the horizon off in the distance. It did cause the light to play rather nicely in the sky and the reflection was not too shabby either. Hope everyone had a wonderful week and I wish everyone a marvelous weekend. Peace.

"Fishing is much more than fish....It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers." Herbert Hoover
Gosto da simplicidade. Somos injustos ao banalizarmos as ervas silvestres e as plantas sazonais. O homem tem a tendência de dar valor ao exuberante, ao raro e ao suposto conceito de luxo. É claro que tal é relativo!
Muitas das coisas raras que hoje valorizamos, outrora abundavam!
Quem sabe se um dia estas simples ervas que todos detestam não serão plantas de luxo e ornamentos de leito de rico!
Fetos? Credo canhoto! Planta de carraças!
A ver vamos...
O problema é quando estas coisas chegam à fotografia. É muito comum ver os adeptos da fotografia a cair neste erro! Há pessoas que fazem quilómetros de viagens só para fotografar um determinado local. E muitas vezes em vão. Eu sou um desses! Disparar, disparar, disparar que quase parece uma espingarda de caça! Chegamos a casa orgulhosos das nossas 600 fotografias. Toca a correr para o computador! Resultado? Decepção total... Com uns milagres de pós produção pode ser que tenhamos a sorte de desencantar uma fotografia.
E quase sempre se olharmos com olhos de fotografo, temos aquilo que procuramos mesmo ao nosso lado. E na vida é exactamente igual!
Por falar em luxo!?! Acho que estou a precisar de máquina fotográfica nova.
A que eu tenho, está sempre a discutir comigo... Alguma sugestão de uma máquina para mim?
I awoke this past Saturday to a bright beautiful world. After the days and days of greyness, it was truly celebratory! Hoar frost covered the entire boreal forest. Because of the contrasting whites, Manitoba's naturally blue sky looked even bluer (that was not Photoshopped). I was so excited that I didn't even finish my coffee. I dressed, grabbed my camera bag and hopped in the little red truck to see what I could see. This is one of a handful of images that I took before the frost melted.
