Simplicity
I have been sitting at this computer nearly all afternoon doing paperwork. Ugh. And I mistakenly thought that homework would end when grad school did! Hahaha…silly me!
Back sore, bum numb, I decided to get up, walk around and get some fresh air. As I walked about the house I noticed simple beauty all around me. So I grabbed my camera to document and share with you what I saw.
Nectarines: I consider theirs to be one of the most intoxicating and sensual fragrances.
Who knew this could be pretty?! 
Star Lantern on Patio
I like the colors and lines and the lone palm with its "crazy hair."
I love all the lines in this shot.
Sundown on Sunflower...I love how the fuzz on the stem catches the sun's glow!
One of my other petmates with whom I share an abode.
She's also apparently camera shy
Oh if only you could inhale the sweetness of their blossoms in spring!
I was struck by how illuminated these flowers were in the evening sun!
So take a look around with a fresh perspective. What beauty surrounds you amidst the mundane and ordinary?

Love these photos, Mav! Nice addition to the blog. The brilliant colors are even more striking against the black backdrop. Well done.
