Philosophy through photography provided this week’s challenge of simplicity. “The modern world is so stressful and chaotic that we are losing the fundamental clarity and simplicity that allows us to concentrate on what is really important.” So true!

Tell a story
Sense of Scale
I had to look through my archive to find this one because usually, I will fill the frame with the people. But this time I was in awe of the surroundings.
As we got closer to the waterfall we witnessed its power.
The vastness and power of water bring perspective to our view of self. Watching how fast it can transform places. There is little a person can do to hold back the water. The world’s people are learning this the hard way.

I hope that you enjoy the simple life. Which photograph spoke to you? I appreciate all comments.

Such a nice gallery to bring simplicity to your photography, Marlene. I especially loved the tiny person on the beach, the bench on Mendocino coast and the ladybug. Love it when you join in. Great photos, all of them.

Thank you so much, Marlene Frankel, for this wonderful collection of photographs.
Love the colour being the subject, and it’s so true, every hue holds a story!
Love the gull, enjoying its newfound treasure! Gull’s discovery inspires us to seek the treasures that await in our path!
Sunset and Sunrise are always, my favourites!
Amazing clicks of the waterfall. The waterfall is the symbol of strength and tranquillity! I forget myself when I listen to the sound.
Your fantastic still-life photographs and you have cleverly showcased the interplay of light and shadows.
Ladybug being alone brought smiles because these days ladies are overburdened with family responsibilities and need alone moments for self-recovery and personal growth.
Every image of yours gives us a message.
Thanks again for joining us.
