Sometimes we need to look closely to see the beauty of the natural world otherwise we may miss the gift she offers. I fall prey to that more than I like. Yet, when we do stop and look closely at the Showy Milkweed and its cluster of tiny starlike flowers, we can notice the details and intricacies of her unending creativity. I love this Book of Nature.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    I wonder if self-preservation keeps us from noticing “all the details” all the time. I think my little brain would be overloaded if it didn’t “zoom out” a good portion of the time. Of course, sometimes it zooms way out. LOL

      Interesting you bring that up. It has me thinking about my love for the wide open spaces of horizons that fill my archives while there’s a spattering of “zoomed in” images. It could be I unconsciously “zoom out” because of the overload. Your making me think!!!! And, as I write that last sentence I wonder if I’m zooming in. Thanks!
