Play, Curiosity, and Love

This time of year I search for photographic subjects. When I don’t feel like photographing bare trees and drying leaves I often pick up a bunch of flowers to photograph. It’s all about

Play, Curiosity, and Love

with a bit of learning mixed in.

What can I do with this bouquet of flowers together and individually? How can I play with light? And what happens if I zoom my lens while making the photograph? Can I create an impressionistic rendition of the flowers? How close is too close? And so on…it’s a simple bit of play, curiosity, and love.

Live this day as if the earth exhales blessings in your direction,
as if trees speak their deepest secrets in your ear,
as if bird songs can lift you
outside your ordinary state of mind and bring you into truth.

Be the creative juice flowing through the universe.
Be silence and stillness,
the ocean of love so palpable that
not one cell of you disputes the truth that
you are that.

Wishing you a beautiful day filled with play, curiosity, and love.

May you walk in beauty.
