Something New

One of my go-to blogs for inspiration and comfort is Laura's blog Shine the Divine: Creativity is a Spiritual Practice.

It is filled with wisdom, humor, humanity, poetry and gorgeous photos. Laura has a meme called "I Heart Macro" and I decided to take part in it on a regular basis.
It makes you look at things up close - really look at them. We have this beautiful staghorn fern that Daniel mounted on a piece of driftwood he found by the river. It is right next to our back door and whenever I go outside, I am stopped for a few seconds by the amazing patterns on this plant.
Different patterns on the leaves and on those mysterious disks it grows. Aren't they beautiful?
I'm linking this to I Heart Macro on Laura's blog. Head on over for some wonderful inspiration on this Sunday morning!

    I like this idea of slowing down to look more closely at the world around us. I think I will participate! Thanks for sharing.

    It's like stepping into a new world when you look really closely at the things around. The "älghornsbräken" is beautiful.

    Oh so worth while to stop and look at the familiar ion a regular basis and note all the little wonders it brings.
    I like the patterns on your stag-horn.

    Most people forget how intrigued they were by really LOOKING at things in all their small detail when they were children. I am glad that this love for the small things has never really left me.

    I have always enjoyed the somewhat mysterious appearance of stag horn ferns! They are one of those distinctive plants that are always a great photo opportunity! Life is in the little details after all!
    Hugs and enjoy your week my sweet friend <3,
