portrait of mary

i love this photograph i took of mary.
she loves to be with nature and it is
in being with her that i have experienced
camping, hiking and love of photographing
mother earth. i also talk to birds because
of her :)



“One of the most wonderful things in nature
is a glance of the eye;it transcends speech;
it is the bodily symbol of identity”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

what makes me speechless.......a sky full of
fluffy clouds, a sky full of dazzling stars in
mexico, awaiting a luminious sunset by the
lake and admiring it's parting gift of beautiful
colors.

What in nature makes you speechless?

Dusk or dawn. The transition is full of both light and darkness, not promising one or the other.

Lorena said...

when i realize how insignificant i am (my issues, my baggage) in comparison to the world i live in. it makes me dumbstruck and awed at how beautiful it is to be living.

i love the asymmetry of this photograph. thank you for sharing it.

Dear Lorena,

thank you for letting me know about this interesting exhibition, "Maps: finding our place in the world"
i've found also a well designed site of it:
http://www.fieldmuseum.org/maps/

i could only wish i could see it with my own eyes :)
do let me know if you do see it your self, and what were your impressions....

and your words and images about the beauty of nature - makes one realize how we are all alike! and the beauty in it as well

i find myself speechless at the stars - there are so many of them and even if i could count them, i wouldn't want to. it would kill the magic
