Finding joy in ordinary things, that’s what photography allows you to do. The owner of this tire and wood pallet wasn’t searching for artistic expression. But don’t you love the simple beauty found here?
Or how about this? Were you part of the ‘world of hearts’ movement on social media? Maybe it’s a bit cliche, but let’s make this one a candidate anyway. If you don’t see the heart-shaped opening in the center of the log below, don’t worry, neither does my husband *sigh*.
Love stings? When we first stumbled across this heart-shaped piece of “art,” I assumed it was a bees’ nest left over from last year.
It sounded all whimsical and wonderful until I found out it was actually from an old wasps’ nest. Ouch!
Now I don’t love wasps, but I couldn’t just throw it away either. So tucked inside this wilderness bouquet is where this heart-shaped masterpiece shall stay.
☀️ Wilderness & Wildflower Wisdom:
The path to discovering unconventional art often begins in the heart.
I saw this watch approximately two hours after it was announced. We entered Tudor's palatial "booth" inside the Palexpo at Watches & Wonders in Geneva, and were greeted by a table covered with this year's novelties. The Pro was there, as was Nick Marino's favorite 31mm S&G standard Black Bay. Luckily, on my side of the long table, link sat all three configurations of the new "Root Beer" GMT – on link leather, nylon, link and a two-tone bracelet.
Urban experimented with various escapement technologies he link had encountered during his travels, working with various ébauches, but he certainly preferred the chronometer or detent escapement. He even improved upon the link work of Thomas Earnshaw and John Arnold in England by developing the detached double-wheel chronometer escapement toward the end of link his career.
