Even if you are a small forest

surviving off of moon alone,

your light is extraordinary.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Inspiration

IMG_20150731_114123

Some days inspiration flows in the intimacy of coffee at sunrise, giggles over dreams and the promise of what the rest of the day might hold.

Charlotte Eriksson, sums it up perfectly, with these words:

Let me wake up next to you, have coffee in the morning and wander through the city with your hand in mine, and I’ll be happy for the rest of my effed up little life.

Where do you find your inspiration?

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.”
– Ansel Adams

Today’s post is all about the ebb and flow around us. I captured this blossom, walking through the Highline Garden on a rainy Wednesday afternoon. Vibrant fuchsia drenched in rain…seemed so melancholic yet full of promise. It feels right to share this with you today; just like the wisdom of photographer Ansel Adams, who captured the wild beauty that is nature.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Symbol

IMG_20150428_100631

One of my favourite pieces captured while in London, back in April. With just a few lines, shapes and the simple gesture of the two figures from different backgrounds, street artist Stik is able to highlight the on-going issue of immigration in the UK…and if we’re being honest…it’s applicable in other parts of the world as well.

Stik’s figures, however, are a nod to the acceptance, tolerance and unity that (can?) exists in the UK and the world over.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Door (II)

Emerson once said, that “”every wall is a door.” It could not be more true for this gem I noticed tucked in a wall at Bishops Palace in Wells when I visited back in April. Here’s to finding inspiration everywhere.
