Moving into 2026:

stillness, pure & simple.

 

Two sides of a coin

 stillness & reflection

and action.  In this case, flight in the making.

Indeed, egrets among the most elegant of all sentients.

  

The simple object

is beautiful.  Spoon.  Two rose petals. A small clump of nasturtium.  And the combination, the gathering, exquisite.  Nothing less that the intersection of story and stillness.   
 

Spring may be all about color but....

 there remains a stillness, a hush, a calmness to blooming.  Almost as if the magnolia where painted with snow.
