Travel Theme: Simplicity

This week at Where's My Backpack? Ailsa asks us to celebrate simplicity.  Which, ironically, can be difficult, since we often try to cram as much as possible into a photograph to make it more "interesting".  Though sometimes, just a "thing", being or doing its thing, is enough.Like these new pine cones that emerged with spring.One fine morning I noticed the sunlight coming through the blinds was having its way with my boyfriend's guitar pick.When you're out wandering in a nearby field, one ought to pay attention to the picturesque nature of the local fence-postery.Even the simplest way to dry laundry has beauty and charm.  It helps when that laundry is drying outside a building in Florence, but...

And finally, we have the groovy serenity of a backyard, sunset, and fog rolling in off the nearby creek.  Why did this one tree stand out?  No idea.  I'm just glad it did.

That's it for today.  Once again, a million thanks to Ailsa for the photo challenge!
