Beauty within imperfections

"Wabi-Sabi" is the Japanese art of finding beauty within imperfection, impermanence, and the unrefined and simple things in life. Accepting the natural cycle. Celebrating the cracks and all other marks that time, weather and love leave behind.

My eyes are always drawn to the interesting. We can miss out on so much beauty all around, only looking for the perfect blooming roses and moments. And not just in nature, but humans also... Maybe even more so!

Death lies beside life..

Germination finds a way. (Even when it's blurry.) ;-) vvv That's the actual trail.

You nail it woman....as a hunter, I walk the deep woods and, while hunting is an objective, my trek is always so much broader than that. When I was a young man, it was totally about filling my tag. As I've grown older and hopefully, wiser, I have found that coming across old growth trees, and such things as old neglected apple orchards and such.....the beauty of nature is like a full voluptuous woman who has begun unbuttoning her blouse to me.
I have spent so many hours and days, sitting in the deep woods, detailing simple natural discoveries in my mind. That has become part of the balm for me.
Almost like being surprised by a river nymph.....an epiphany and an experience that you seem to keep to yourself because, your discovery is beyond a description, they're like dirty little secrets we prefer to keep to ourselves, and reflect upon next to a wood fire and hot coffee.
Your illustrations are perfect in describing the beauty of natural lines.
