Noticing detail

Having more time to really look and not just see and to really listen and not just hear, the awe and wonder inspired by nature becomes far stronger if we open our minds. That's one of the ways this lockdown has affected me anyway. The detail in the simplest things is wonderful and somehow calming.

Dandelions and daisies...really look at the intricacy and patterns.

Lovely photos. Always make time to stop and smell the roses.... You’re right we can rush around the earth and miss it’s beauty which is right under our nose. I love daisies they are one of my favourite flowers.

Hi Billy61, Really studying nature can teach so much. It's a lovely thing to do. Not only can you study the form and geometry of plants, but as Jerry said, it's a form of meditation in its own right in keeping your mind in the present moment. It's a small bonus we can all gain from the current crisis if we take the time out to try. I'm sure it can only be of great benefit, and I hope you carry on finding enjoyment in it. 🌸🌺

Hi Billy61,

The photos of the daisies and dandelions are beautiful. I’m pleased you find nature calming and noticing the intricate details.

If you are interested, you may want to look up the Fibonacci Sequence in nature.

Stay safe and well. 🌷👂🏽🐚

Thank you for your kind comment. I have enjoyed reminding myself of Fibonacci Sequence this afternoon. Just find it difficult to imagine how Leonardo Fibonacci figured it out so very long ago.

Theres a saying..... Familiarity breeds contempt! Yes dandylions are a familiar sight but I'm so glad you recognise their beauty. The seedheads are fantastic! (Yes I appreciate they can cause "spreading" problems in our gardens but look closer, they are a splash of sunshine you must surely agree?
