These little glimpses of the garden have me thinking of poetry, that written form where words are crafted together in unusual ways. Here the use of selective focus brings about a juxtaposition, a dialogue between two sides of the image - a whispered endearment unheard above the diffuse background noise.
Today's daily practice post is a bit of a departure - rather than post one image, I decided to post the images made on the short 5 minute walk from my office to my car at the end of the work day. This was the first time during the day that I had thought about the daily practice, and I instantly decided to take out my phone and find some images on the way to the car. Click on any of the images to view them larger.
Old and venerable, dried by the wind, bleached by the sun. Perched on dark volcanic rock, a compelling contrast of shapes and tones; organic and inorganic.
The title of this blog is taken from Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street series of books. Bertie is a wee precocious boy who's not allowed to be a child. His mother has grand plans for him, and has organized "The Bertie Project" to educate him well beyond his years. This blog is meant to be my own personal "Bertie Project" - a way to lead a more enriched life.
