Wabi-Sabi

I found a wonderful article on the Japanese Philosophy of Wabi-Sabi right here.  It's all about seeing and appreciating the beauty in the every day, and I absolutely love this.  The older I get, the more I see the value in frugality and in living a much simpler life.   I'm a huge fan of the beauty of everyday and so, in keeping with that, I think I'll start doing a photograph of the day to document what I found in the course of a regular day that I find beautiful.

Or maybe I'll post nine, like I have today.  Our David Austin English roses are in full bloom, and so are our peonies.  I can't think of a more beautiful bouquet - I cut one for the house and one for my desk at the office, which will make my week much more enjoyable and beautiful.
