According to Buddha
Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
take it from me
when you start it’s just a matter of time
any minute you will cross that line
take it from me
you never think about the price that you pay
take it from me
it got a mind of its own and it stings
take it from me
it got a mind of its own and it stings
nothing can stop me
nothing holds me back
think you could slow me down?

Dizziness then flowers, dizziness then flowers. You’re messing with my head, Hedy! 😉
indeed that’s a hedy head blurt 😀 you’re welcome Hariod! thank you and have a beautiful day ~ smiles hedy
Great series of photographs, hard lines of man-made vs natural forms and all in black and white just add to the forms. Nature will always win being so fluid to adapt. Fluid to find life as it comes to you and not to force it, I must remember that. Have a wonderful evening my friend.
thank you kindly Terry…i appreciate your comments and friendship…i love nature…being outside…a room without a roof…”Fluid to find life as it comes to you and not to force it”…i agree…force rarely sticks…sending you joy for a happy day ~ smiles hedy
I would rather be outside than in a inside also, it is very relaxing. Well time to go outside with my grand-daughter and get in the pool. Have a wonderful day and evening my friend.
sounds delightful…have lots of fun…i love my grandson too…i look forward to go to Regina and visit him soon too 😀 sending you joy Terry!
Soft & hard
😀 resistant to pressure…but water wears *it* away…sending you joy Gavin :-D…many smiles from turbulent etown! we had a cracking thunder storm yesterday…then delicious sunshine. 😀
Great work! 🙂
humble thank you Lisah 😀 have a happy day!
You’ve covered all the angles beautifully, Hedy! We humans have quite an interesting way of serializing nature! It’s like holding up a finger-painting sample next to the work of a master. There are inklings of something profound there, but still working on our technique…
Peace
Michael
