"The real voyage of discovery consists
not of seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes".
Marcel Proust
Words of wisdom I try to remember
when exploring the world around me...
even the ugly low tide mudflats.
Perhaps if I look with new eyes
I might see some beauty in them.
This is a good post. I look at your pictures and see ONLY beauty. I will look with new eyes at places where I live that I have thought were not pretty. I'll show you Monday.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the results, Carol.
DeleteGreat quote - and a good one to share in a drawing class!!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes...it's all in the eyes!
DeleteIt can be quite an effort to develop the "seeing eye" in this sense, but it's worth it on those occasions we manage it, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteFor sure...and looking with a purpose helps too.
DeleteI certainly see beauty in them. Your post has inspired me to look for beauty in my city where I don't usually see it.
ReplyDeleteI've been there too...living in cities that never inspired me. Funny, now that I'm living far away from those places, I see more beauty in them as an infrequent visitor.
DeleteGreat saying but these pictures hold so much bauty, depth, lines,colors....
ReplyDeleteI imagine walking there
It really isn't hard to find beauty all around us is it.
DeleteKnowing you through your words and art - I'm sure you'll find the beauty in the mudflats (or anywhere else your eyes turn).
ReplyDeleteHi, Penny. Lovely pictures. Sometimes I feel like my eyes are refreshed from visiting blogs and seeing other worlds. Really liked your car doodle in the previous post. It's interesting that you thought of applying it to the bark idea. So many possibilities!
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
I love the giant "S" path down to the water...or maybe it is a "Z" ... zig-zag thisa way, thata way! I love seeing your world :)
ReplyDeleteVery helpful words today, Penny, as I start another day - a NEW day. -sus
