It doesn’t have to be the
blue Iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot..
just pay attention, then
patch a few words together..
this isn’t a contest, but the
doorway into thanks…

Much closer to the blue iris than the weeds in the vacant lot…but Oliver has such a wonderful way of expressing thanks for the simple, subtle, beautiful things around us. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks, Mic. Her work never fails to move and inspire me. Funny–the ratio of blue irises to weeds and grasses I’ve shot and shared on this blog are about 2:100. 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving.
🙂 The really funny thing is that somewhere on the way to a ratio like that the difference between the two becomes muted…
Indeed, they do.
