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!

  12. 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.

  13. 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,
