Simplicity is the state or quality of being simple...

My own approach to "decorating." I prefer open spaces to clutter. I do not hang pictures, I don't do knick-knacks, but find me a good nest and a couple of skulls, and I'm good to go.

This is my best example of simplicity. I really like how it's in portrait mode so it is focused on the rock, showing all of the lines in the carving. I used contrast to try and get more details in the face.

What a cute pattern with lots of choices... I especially love the knickers! How cute they would be for Christmas for a little boy!

Needed some fresh air and milk for my coffee. Perfect excuse for a trip down the street in -10.

 

This is a tree branch, btw. Shot with much bodily engagement and snow falling down my backside in the local cemetery. Thankfully, cemetery completely deserted and oh so peaceful, almost magical, in this weather.

For TRP: Word!

 

I've had a bamboo plant for over 5 years now. I've changed it's pot 3 times b/c it outgrows each one. It's starting to die. Well, it's been dying for a while. But there's still one stalk that is giving greens so we thought of planting it in our backyard.

 

p.s. this looks fab in lightbox, go on and view it bigger, you know you want to. ;)
