leaf on an easy chair
leaf on a discarded easy chair, San Francisco, Canon Digital Rebel
"The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome,
indescribably magnificent world in itself."
-Henry Miller
i love it because the easy chair fur is probably plastic fur, the natural/artificial combining so well here, nice! plastic garbage is beautiful.

Posted by: charleigh at February 25, 2006 05:13 AMi think today i would like to appreciate myself and life in general as if i were the blade of grass/the leaf on a discarded easy chair. wouldn't that be something...if i could look at not just myself, but others, the way i look at and understand this image. something to aim for i suppose :-)
Posted by: Jennifer at February 23, 2006 09:16 AMSo true. My favorite photos to take are close-ups of tiny things or details.
Posted by: Laura at February 23, 2006 08:09 AMHello, Miss A. Gorgeous photo. I was away for awhile (without an internet connection)...caught up here...looks like Hawaii was fabulous. I'll be at Glide in a few weeks...will email you...
Posted by: Marilyn at February 23, 2006 06:35 AMBeautiful image! You have a special way of being encouraging and uplifting simply by your photography alone and yetthen you add a thought to the image and I am even more blessed.
Posted by: kristine at February 22, 2006 10:53 PMWhat a beautiful quote! I've been trying to pay more attention to, well, attention myself, since I find that attention leads to passionate appreciation, which is one of the only ways I can get past my fears and actually write.

Posted by: jenn at February 22, 2006 05:21 PMYour post reminds me of the wonderful clip of a plastic bag floating in the wind in the movie American Beauty.
Your images have helped me open my eyes even wider to my own world.
Great-fully, Nicole/Tickled Pink
