Extraordinary ordinary

Not much happens in my life. I work, I play, I laugh, I cry.

I focus on the small wonders of life.

A luminous leaf nestled in diamonds.

A strawberry jewel in the frost.

I have faith – even in the dark times – that there is beauty in the ordinary

And that life, in all its frailty, still contains the miraculous.

  1. You may feel that nothing much happens, but you have eyes to see the beauty in the ordinary, and that is a gift that ensures it is the right kind of “nothing much”!

  5. You are so right, the large joys and deep tragedies fade against the little things in nature that gladden our hearts.

    Frost is so exciting, I go out in the early morning in dressing gown and slippers and try to capture its beauty with my camera too.

    The strawberry leaf is material for a fairy tale.

  7. Frost “diamonds” — what a beautiful thought. Some people live their entire lives without ever thinking a beautiful thought. Can you imagine what that must be like? So desolate.
    Your life is full of beautiful things and beautiful thoughts. Thank you for sharing them with us.

  8. That is gorgeous! I love those photos – such amazing detail and great angles. Your poetry between the photos fits them perfectly, as well. I could borrow some of that grace, I think.

    See, I am not the only one who sees the beauty and sadness in the falling leaves.
