Winter Wabi-Sabi

By Bo Mackison, on February 23rd, 2009

second in the series on winter wabi-sabi

The golden coin-shaped leaves of this plant contrast the winter blue sky. And yes, for once the sky was so blue it reminded me of the bright skies I typically see in the west.

We have blue skies today and they do cheer you up even when it’s cold outside. Love the pic, soft, soothing colors and simple composition.

It’s lovely how you give new life to last season’s flora. Your photo is powerful in its simplicity.

I’ve been following your wabi-sabi series and really enjoying it. I’m sorry I haven’t commented. Life seems to be taking on a little speed lately.

Your wabi-sabi photos are really beautiful. I especially enjoyed the quilt and the story behind it.

ybonesy–you are the lucky one who gets to see that big blue bowl of sky above you much of the time. It is such a lovely blue.
