Φ (Phi)is the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet. In modern Greek, it represents [f], a voiceless labiodental fricative. In Ancient Greek it represented [pʰ], an aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive.

 

It represents, among other things, the golden ratio 1.618 in mathematics, art, and architecture.

Yesterday at a friend's place .... this little piglet was sitting on this box. So funny. She also told us that sometimes it falls over while she's hoovering and she only notices it a few hours later when sitting down on the sofa.

Thuidium tamariscinum

 

Very soft fern like and delicate moss. It shines this time of year when the forest is no longer a blast of green!

Son esas pequeñas cosas las hacen que valga la pena vivir.

if there’s one thing that I’ve noticed

out of all the things I’ve seen

it’s that you can leave a footprint

in a place you’ve never been

and there’s barely time to look around

before you have to leave

and a mark upon the skin

is not enough to make you bleed

 

if there’s one thing that I’m keeping

out of all the things I’ve found

it’s that the best way to be heard sometimes

is not to make a sound

and the things we want the most

fetch not a penny nor a pound

and all it takes to find your feet

is just to stand your ground

 

if there’s one thing that I’m sure of

out of all the things I know

it’s that you can keep on going fast

I’ll still be going slow

and falling’s not that hard

when you’re starting out so low

and drowning’s not that bad

if you breathe and just let go

breathe and just let go…

 

(the wasted and the used things

the broken and abused things

all these small things

the treasured and the sacred things

the lost and the forsaken things

all these small things)

in memory. A year goes so fast. Yet so slow.

Color is where you find it. Images of rock and life from the Duluth, Minnesota area.

Las cosas pequeñas me hacen muy feliz. No sé por qué, pero algo muy extraño me provocan xD!

Crecimos creyendo que en algún momento viviremos o tendremos algo grande que nos hará eternamente feliz.

Pero finalmente descubrimos que en ese tipo de cosas está la felicidad: En las cosas pequeñas.

 

This is a small leaf between the finger and thumb of a small boy taken with a camera with a small lens.

"The joys of life are hidden in small things,

No one knows the happiness a tiny moment brings,

The slightest of a gesture of love,

Takes us to the seventh heaven and above...

These are the things that make life beautiful,

Lived once and remembered always as wonderful!"

Shreya Koppaka

Life's little things that we rarely see or ever stop to look at, unless you have a macro lens and go pottering about your mothers garden out of boredom.

brown paper sketchbook + very small pens + too much time on my hands.

Observations:

This moss is normally a brilliant green and was a few weeks ago.

We are in a really dry spell and I noted that the moss was brown.

 

Reading up on Moss, it does go dormant in dry spells.

Met a new friend this morning, he was a bit shy and he didn't say much
