(i keep wanting to use this quote but then i stop myself because it feels like i am patting myself on the back. except i really like the quote, and that is not my intent at all, so i am using it regardless of my hesitation.)

"Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing."

– Camille Pissarro

  1. That is what a true photographer excels at…and you are a true photographer. Give yourself a pat on your back from me!

    Oh, but you should take that pat on the back, Elizabeth… this photo is exceptionally fantastic! You have a special talent in seeing & capturing the ordinary-extraordinary, and I love that about you! :o) Dazzling image, and I’ve always been inspired by that Pissarro qoute. :o) Happy Weekend, my friend ((HUGS))

    This is extraordinarily simple and exquisite. Love the dof.

  8. So blessed.
    Sometimes I feel like I am walking around stoned but it is my natural way of being. When you start looking for simple beauty, it becomes more and more abundant, doesn’t it ?
    Happy Friday, Blessed One !

  9. Fabulous quote,
    Fabulous image,
    Fabulous YOU!!

  10. I love this quote. It is true of artists of all kinds, but esp. visual artists. I’m always looking for the extraordinary in the so-called ordinary. :)

  11. You can find beautiful things anywhere, my friend. A storm grate… who would have thunk it? (well, clearly, you did!) This is genius.
