Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein
I can’t see raindrops on roses without bursting into song. I just got a new Lensbaby, a wide angle velvet. Haven’t decided if I like it yet. I was about 2 inches from this flower and couldn’t get the super macro look I like. But I think it will be handy in the tidy studio where I just can’t get far enough from my subject at times.
I’ve come to the end of John O’Donhue’s book on Beauty. I will share with you one last quote from a blessing with which he ends the book:
As twilight fills night with bright horizons
May Beauty await you at home beyond.
