“beauty is fractal”
Posted in Branches, Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged art, beauty, floral photography, flower, fractal, imagination, Inspiration, nature, nature photography, paperwhites, Richard Feynman, science on January 18, 2013| 8 Comments »
That is what that science guy of mine said over breakfast this morning. “Beauty is fractal. No matter the scale at which we view a thing, it is beautiful.” We weren’t specifically talking about flowers but we could have been. There is more I’d like to write about that statement but why when someone else has written so … beautifully … about “the mystery of a flower.” If you have five minutes and eleven seconds today, check out this video and hear the words of physicist Richard Feynman on Beauty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRmbwczTC6E&list=PL92F9FC91BBE2210D

but I am certainly glad I looked.
Only a little bit of moisture so no great ice sculptures as before though I still see stars and lost universes.
Just light reflecting and refracting, striking the dust, and veiling that magnificent oak tree.
upon a pale field

The name of the plant I do not know. Its cost was $2.48. I know that because the label is still on the side of the little plastic pot. I have never replanted it. I sometimes forget to water it and then when I do I sometimes drown it but it is a succulent and that seems to be okay.
I have tucked it in a very, very sunny corner. Perhaps for that reason it forgives my neglect and on occasion produces these magnificent pale blooms on pencil thin stalks that I snip and place in an old spice jar. I’ve been photographing them against a background of white vellum.
We’ll see what the rest of the winter holds, if new blooms will emerge. Meanwhile, I’ll try to show my appreciation by buying some soil later today so I can replant this (and several more) plants later in the week. 😉

A poinsettia sits in the kitchen window, a holiday gift still providing much pleasure.

like a veil of stars

Ice upon windows is beautiful. At night that can be hard to remember as I shiver under the covers. But in the morning when the wintry sun strikes the delicate forms layered upon the glass … well, that’s a whole different situation, isn’t it? 😉
interior beauty

The interior of several white tulips. As I’ve written before, tulips were not always my favorite flowers. But now it is with pleasure I buy a bouquet, their heads tightly closed, and wait just a few days for the blossoms to open, revealing the subtle hues shading their centers.
