leaf on a discarded easy chair, San Francisco, Canon Digital Rebel
“The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome,
indescribably magnificent world in itself.”

Finding the sweet spot between ease and effort
Hey friends! A couple of months ago, after a minor break up (there are so many tiny heartbreaks in this dating thing!) a friend invited me to her yoga class. If I had known how hard it would be, I surely wouldn’t have gone. It’s been years since I had a proper...
very true!! the colors are amazing!
What a wonderful quote….i love the photograph, beautiful colors!
Wow, the colours in the photo are so stunning! The leaf looks like a magic elf shoe walking on a big beige feild. Or a fairy boat! 🙂
You always seem to make the ordinary so extraordinary.
that leaf looks like a masterpiece in of itself.
that chair looks so snuggly…i know why the leaves have taken up home there. : )
the colors! the beauty! the magnificence!
lovely, all of it…what kind of plant did that wee leaf fall from?
off the subject (maybe?), but did I learn of Jack Johnson from you? I think I did..Thank you so much, he’s in my ipod now fueling my day, my work..
What a beautiful quote. I love it 🙂
Your post reminds me of the wonderful clip of a plastic bag floating in the wind in the movie American Beauty.
Your images have helped me open my eyes even wider to my own world.
Great-fully, Nicole/Tickled Pink
so lovely A.
sumptuous sumptous colours and textures…
you rock girly!
What a beautiful quote! I’ve been trying to pay more attention to, well, attention myself, since I find that attention leads to passionate appreciation, which is one of the only ways I can get past my fears and actually write.
Beautiful image! You have a special way of being encouraging and uplifting simply by your photography alone and yetthen you add a thought to the image and I am even more blessed.
Hello, Miss A. Gorgeous photo. I was away for awhile (without an internet connection)…caught up here…looks like Hawaii was fabulous. I’ll be at Glide in a few weeks…will email you…
So true. My favorite photos to take are close-ups of tiny things or details.
i think today i would like to appreciate myself and life in general as if i were the blade of grass/the leaf on a discarded easy chair. wouldn’t that be something…if i could look at not just myself, but others, the way i look at and understand this image. something to aim for i suppose 🙂
your photography is an inspiration & this image is no exception. the colour is amazing! love the quote too! 🙂
i love it because the easy chair fur is probably plastic fur, the natural/artificial combining so well here, nice! plastic garbage is beautiful.
