Wabi-Sabi 12: Bess

Everyone,

Meet Bess.


Rocks



These are all along the back of our house, so I see them everyday and think of them as one big nasty bruise or cut for my son- but looking at them through wise 'wabi sabi' goggles, they are actually really nice!



Fence



I liked how the rust affected the wear on the boards.



Burn



This is in Colorado where the Hayman fire went through in 2002- over 130,000 acres burned, the largest documented in CO history. Even if you aren't a tree hugger, it can't help but bring tears to your eyes to see it in person. I have to keep reminding myself that burn is good for the forest, and life is rejuvenated through it.

The tree photo is great. It is a great Wabi-Sabi statement and beautifully composed with great texture and color.

The trees are most wabi-sabi'ish. Love the contrast of the dark wood to the beautiful blue skies. And the lines on fence photo are super - along with the colors. very nice!
