Lens Artists Photo Challenge #257 – Simplicity

For this challenge guest host Philo has chosen simplicity as the topic.

The header image shows simplicity using negative space to highlight the red canoe on Lake Louise in Canada.

I chose some simple flower images.

My final image features the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado. The humans climbing the dunes look tiny compared to the huge sand dunes.

Many thanks to guest host Philo of Philosophy through Photography for the challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #257- Simplicity

Lens-Artists #91: Simplicity

This week  Patti’s challenge is to show what Simplicity means to me.

“I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.”
Laura Ingalls Wilder

After three weeks of social distancing I have really come to appreciate the simple things – a phone call with my brother who lives on the other side of the country, a video of one of our granddaughters, social distancing outside with neighbors, and enjoying the little things in nature.

Here are a few of the simple things that brought me joy this weekend.
