Making your own pattern
Sometimes in the middle of winter
I like to nourish myself
With the patterns and colours
And silhouettes of vibrant summer.
This shot reminds me that
You don’t always have to go with the flow –
Going against it can also create beauty.

This is absolutely gorgeous!,,

You are so right and that photo is amazing!

You don’t always have to go with the flow –
Going against it can also create beauty………….I’ll take two t-shirts with this on it, if I was brave and am not , a tattoo even.
February 16, 2013 at 17:34
Doing things the other way can bring unparalleled beauty.
February 16, 2013 at 17:54
Glorious, gorgeous and so beautiful.
February 16, 2013 at 17:57
This one took my breath away! Such incredible beauty!!
February 16, 2013 at 17:57
Whether going with the flow or against the flow, when you create or capture beauty like this, you’re definitely IN the flow! This is absolutely stunning. (Funny, my next planned SkyWatch Friday post are of summer skies too! But they’re nothing like this.)
February 16, 2013 at 18:02
Such glorious colours!
February 16, 2013 at 18:07
holy smokes!
February 16, 2013 at 18:19
wasnt that covered in snow the other day? brilliant colors…it does well to immerse yourself in them in winter…
February 16, 2013 at 18:50
Yes, it’s still covered in snow and ice. Just dipping into a few summer memories.

This is a dream of a photo. Seriously, how do you capture those colors? I’m in awe of you and your talents!

Lovely, like always.

love that photo, makes me spring sick!!! many times if you want to accomplish something good or do what it right you might have to work against the tide of common wisdom (when you know that wisdom is wrong).

Greetings from London.

I love the wave shape the duck does.
