When I admire the wonders of a sunset
or the beauty of the moon,
my soul expands
in the worship of the creator.

"Simplicity is not about deprivation. Simplicity is about greater appreciation for things that really matter."
In times where lots of people seek the extraordinary, I keep looking for simplicity and cherish its beauty that so many people overlook, let it be in nature or in human beings.

Simplicity at Jadebusen • Summer 2021
A beautiful heart is one that shines and brighten up others lives.
… quote from me :)
I used magnetic beads and shone a light on them to create the shine.
To me simplicity is beauty.
The Cantuña Chapel houses a small art collection from the Quito School. It’s shrouded in one of Quito’s most famous legends, that of the indigenous builder Cantuña, who supposedly sold his soul so the devil would help him complete the church on time. Just before midnight on the day of his deadline, Cantuña removed a single stone from the structure, meaning the church was never completed. He duped the devil and saved his soul.

From the aesthetic point of view, the Chapel of Cantuña is a small church with a single vaulted nave, with protruding ribs and lunettes. On the presbytery, which with the ship forms a single body, rests a dome with a flashlight through which the light that fills all this space is filtered. In its back is the sacristy and, when entering the ship, a small choir that is reached through a ladder placed to the right of the entrance to the Chapel. Given its structural simplicity, the ambivalence between spatial organization and decoration is evident in Cantuña, which, as in the main church, has undergone profound transformations. The altarpiece of the main altar together with the pulpit constitute the most interesting decorative element of the space. Attributed to Bernardo de Legarda, his factory would be related to the enormous prestige achieved by the Brotherhood of the Virgen de los Dolores in the second half of the 18th century. In this altarpiece, characteristically baroque, there is a clear predominance of decorative elements over images; It is complemented by the magnificent group of Calvary (of which the Virgin of Sorrows is a part) placed in its central niche, also attributed to the master. Legarda carved the columns, cloths, frieze, cornice, arch, auction and dozens of exquisite ornamental elements. The niches and shelves are full of beautiful sculptures that are also his own; He finally completed the set giving the central niche a frame of mirrors and silver.
The Cantuña Chapel also houses Caspicara's works, including one of his masterpieces: the Impression of the San Francisco Sores, a harmonious and transient group of devout sentiment, whose culmination is the admirable expression of the Saint, abyssed in pain and illumination. No less impressive is the effigy of San Pedro de Alcántara, which for a long time was mistakenly attributed to Father Carlos.
I love the beauty and simplicity of this grass. It gives me a somewhat undefinable feeling of nostalgia, calm, and breath - pause and reflection in a busy life.
There is beauty in simplicity and grace in stillness.

Sometimes, in the simplest things, the most common is the true beauty of nature.
On many occasions, nature photographers seek the most shocking photo, or the most impressive place, but never forget that we are surrounded by simple and true beauty.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Thursday. :)

Life gets really complicated some times. We spend our lives chasing possessions only to discard them later. We like to say "less is more" but do we really believe that?
Would you live in that little red hut? Pared down to the basic necessities? Would you be content to spend much of your time in solitude? Would this beautiful view with the ever-changing light sustain you?

Today while digging a hole to plant yet another yard shrub I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful this Iris looked. I see it as “Simplicity In May” I’m so taken aback by the simple beauty that Spring delivers every year. Winter seems longer because we know how pleased we’ll be when April arrives ushering in beautiful days coming in May. I hope you too will be listening to the infamous singer Johnny Nash as he sings “I Can See Cleary Now.” Thanks for viewing my photos. Gratitude and Kindness are ever present in May like all of the months.
