Lake Bonny Park


This is proof I went to Bonny Park Mr. Corrigan
I call it a photography literature blog ;)



























































Inspiration*


What inspiration nature brings.
And yet what silence and meditation
it demands. Being in nature today helped
me catch a tiny glimpse of God’s mighty
power and His amazingly creative hand.
Being in nature just makes me want to
write and create literature, in all the ways.
It makes me want to observe a plant and write
down the feel of the petals, and the origin or genus,
and the inner workings of the stem and photosynthesis.
Nature can be such a good starting point for literature.
It could be something as simple as the setting of nature
you are sitting around. For example, if you are sitting
inside on a rainy day you may be more inclined to write
about the mood of the rain. Or you may be lead to write
about the sound or smell of rain. If you are outside on a
beautiful sunny day you may write something more
optimistic or “happy”.
Also, everything originates in nature
so what better place to start for inspiration? For instance,
if you saw a tomato growing outside you may be
reminded of tomato soup and the warmth of your mother
making it for you when you were little at thanksgiving time.
Although nature could also be an intimidating place
to start with literature. You could be overwhelmed by
all the possibilities that come to mind when pondering on,
and considering nature.
Being in nature helps me realize the importance
of natural literature, in a sense. Nature is so beautifully made
but it manages to be simple and yet complicated and complex
at the same time. That is the kind of literature I enjoy. Easy
and simple, but not in an immature or simple-minded way, the
beautiful literature that comes naturally to you. The kind
of literature you can meditate on and sit still with. The literature
that you can become so overwhelmed with yet still feel comfortable
around. I love Literature that makes you feel complete in your
own vulnerability.

Nice pictures, Kaylee! Very beautiful and, I might add, artistic.

I loved the pictures Kaylee. Also, what you wrote about nature and flowers being the beginning of literature is so true. The intricate detail within the flowers causes you to think about even the smallest things in life. What is so amazing about these small things is that God designed them, simply for his enjoyment. What a beautiful thing.

Oh, wow! I don't know if I can say enough about this line. It is exquisite! "complete in your own vulnerability" You've captured in very few words an experience which is so precious and so rare, and I think it is one which ought to be experienced more often in relationships - primarily between us and God, but also (and importantly) in friendships. Security is a precious commodity indeed.
