Weekly Photo Challenge: Minimalist

MinimalistAbout a month ago, my cousin and her now husband got married at a campground in the woods in a very Do-It-Yourself wedding. They stripped down the elements of the wedding, nixed all of the unnecessary frills, and kept the focus on their relationship and their growing together in love. They were my inspiration for photographing their rings.

Once

OnceWe once laid in the grass after staying up all night to watch the sunrise. I told you I could hear the world growing. You were playing with a seed and said, “Maybe this is us…Your whole life you’re just drifting on the wind, thinking your seed thoughts, living your seed life. And then one day you land and transform into something you never could have imagined.”

Monday Blues: Blossom

“This is for your grandmother,
who walked a thousand miles on broken glass
to find that single patch of grass to plant a family tree
where the fruit would grow to laugh.”
Andrea Gibson

My grandmother once wrote of her concern that children, especially grandchildren, would probably never know their stories down through the roots “Of what happened in this world before their arrival in it.” She would probably smile knowing that my favorite word/concept is Ubuntu.

Ubuntu : I am because we are.

С Днем Рождения, Babushka.
