Little Treasures

I am usually a big picture kind of person, which can be a real gift. However, I so admire people (like my very talented artist husband, Daniel) who notice the beauty that lies in the details, the little things. So, yesterday on a walk we took with Winslow, I tried to pay attention to little treasures and here is some of the beauty I noticed...

A tiny little weed
A dash of color
Gnarly beauty
A lizard greeting the warm sun
Soft love in a rockA heart on the ground
And a patient vigil
Now I am going to head back to my studio to find that same beauty in the art I create. Hopefully, I'll have something new to post very soon!

  2. Silke, what's the story behind the love rock?

  3. We walked at Bonaventure Cemetery (remember how beautiful it is?) and I found the rock laying on a very old headstone. I wish I had a clearer picture of it, but I sort of like the soft focus.

  4. Hi Silke - I'm having some trouble with our new computer, but was able to finally get to your blog using our trusty, old, slow computer.

    This post is lovely - I started doing the same thing recently - looking at the details around me for the beauty I've been overlooking. I've been posting most of it in my other (environmental) blog, but I find it wonderful that we both have been trying to see things differently, but in the same way.

    Hugs,
    Bis bald,
    Angela
