inspired

Have you ever thought, that what you are doing is
kind of useless? Well, I do that often. So did I this
morning.

It's my turn again to sweep the court yart etc. It
was still windy. So, I was asking myself either I really
should sweep all the leaves away - new ones would
come by while I was sweeping... I've decided to do it
anyway (and I don't regret it).

The view when I was going downstairs was not so
pleasing. It has been storming and raining nearly
the whole evening yesterday. So, leaves, petals, pods
and more were lying all around. But then, it's all about
finding those small things in our life to make it more
beautiful, right? Time to open my eyes for those
beauties...

nature gifts

The colors of those 'nature junks' on the steps are so
brilliant and inspiring. I've saved some of them while
I was sweeping. As I was finished, I took them upstairs
and started to arrange them on a blank canvas (which
I've bought years ago and never managed to take my
time to paint on it). A tiny caterpillar (as well as some
other tiny creatures) was hiding in one of the buds and
I saw it later on my arrangement. It took it's way to a
twig and stay there till I was finished with my photo
session (I hope, it didn't get too dizzy while I moved
the twig around).

arranged
This was my first arrangement. I'm thinking of selling
some of my photographs, so I'm gathering photos I
love at the moment and thinking, how I'd print them.
But that's another story...

Anyway, this arrangement has inspired me to the next
one (you might remember, that I keep seeing faces
whenever I look around). I've rearranged the things a
few times until I'm satisfied with the result.

I really like the last arrangement (even though the pod
was falling apart..). It's kind of a self portrait, I think.
Not sure, but I see me (with my old, big glasses LOL).
Okay, I admit, she looks prettier than I ^_^

self portrait?

Viva La Vida
and more is running on the background
while I was arranging the troves. Of course :) I got it from
their site here - the live version, kind of best of album.

So, let's stay inspired, friends!

Oh, you show the joys of cleaning - what a reward you gave yourself afterwards! I love how you arranged everything!
I fully agree on selling your photographs but that you knew already! :)
I'm going to catch up on your blog for a bit now! :)

oooh, I so like the face you made,
I have this with water on the street, when it has been raining and it is drying, then you can see all sorts of forms in it, but it dissppears so fast!
