Things need not be sophisticated, complicated or even of high technology to have a value. "Simplicity" can be an acoustic guitar played for a friend.

"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.
It was an extremely foggy morning and I had been photographing grasses up close in a field at a park. This tree was on the edge of the parking lot and as I pulled out and was driving I saw this tree from a different perspective, unencumbered by distracting wires, etc.. I was so taken by its beautiful silhouette against the foggy sky that I pulled the car over, composed my shot and waited and hoped that a bird would fly through my frame (as I saw many that morning). I chose to turn it into a black and white so the tree and the branches were really highlighted. Since this was on the edge of a parking lot I filled as much frame with the tree while still including some of the hill and a few of the background trees.
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.

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.

I have a very busy brain. Things ping-pong around in my head constantly...except when I'm out making images. It's then that I'm able to quiet the noise of the day and truly focus on that moment without distraction.
Fortunately, I live in a place where there is so much scenic beauty that my photographer's eye can't help but be inspired to capture it. I'm beginning to learn how important it is to make daily time for this mentally quieting experience.

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.
