british soldier lichen and reindeer moss
Indian-pipe or Monotropa uniflora
Under the cedars and birches along the road, there is a magical patch of beauty.
Small delights, right there, quietly waiting to be noticed.
What are you noticing today?
Karen, you have an eye for beauty. I love how you find, and by doing so, remind us how subtle subjects can knock your sox off as much as grandeur.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful (reindeer moss!! never heard of it before, but wow!). These all could be so easily overlooked. Glad you were paying attention.
ReplyDeleteI noticed a toad hopping beneath the dahlias when I was out in the garden earlier. Always brings me joy when I see one.
Often it's the most readily visible that is overlooked just because it's always there to see. I helped to build Ralph Waldo Emerson Middle School and since have come to be astounded by his breadth of ideas. One newly discovered quotation: "If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore." Looking up at the multitude or down at the miniature, I'm glad we're both looking, Karen.
ReplyDeleteI love these photos, they are like tiny little worlds, I wonder who lives in amongst them.
