Christie’s photo challenge: Inspiration is an invitation to ponder, “what is it that moves me?”
Nature inspires me to contemplate the meaning and purpose of life through her
- beauty,
- complexity – simplicity continuum
- consistency
- characteristics of vulnerability intermixed with aggression (did you know poppies have thorns?)
- transience
- interdependency
- natural laws
- photogenic features
- haiku inspiration
