Design by nature

Design by nature

 

 

a dulcet rain

begins to fall

 

an orb

of absolute precision

is meticulously cupped within

the concave petal of

a succulent

 

unequivocally designed

by nature.

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

They are the most beautiful of all plants- I carried many different types around with me in South Africa when I moved house many a time- breeding with them for eleven years- it’s amazing to see how they survive on little and still portrait such beauty through simplicity- wonderful 🌹

[Kelly Scheppers]

I'm very much in awe to learn you've been to South Africa! How wonderful! Thank you so much.

[Dave]

Kelly - Your artistry in photography is so complimented by your writing. Both are beautifully done.

Take care - Dave

I'm trying to incorporate my photography with my poetry a little more. I used to draw sketches years ago, and may even go back to that, too. Many thanks for the kind words, Dave. I deeply appreciate it!

[Cory Barrett]

thank you for paying attention to simplicity.

[Kelly Scheppers]

This was pure joy for me, Cory - in so many ways! Thank you!

Your photograph - wrapped in expressive language, is exquisite. In another person's hands, it might have become excessive. Your less is definitely more, Kelly. Beautiful!

[Kelly Scheppers]

This was a joy for me to capture. It was just after a morning rain. I opened my front door and saw this perfect raindrop cupped within the petal of a succulent, just under my picture window. What a thrill it was for me to put it to poetry! A thousand thank you's, Emma!

Very simple and ellegant. Words in my ears have beautiful sound. Almost like innocence there is somewhere.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I love your analogy. Thank you so much!

[Tony Jordan]

I like this - Nature showing how it knows about keeping boundaries but still sharing the same space and your eloquent pen to gild the lily.
Nice package Kelly.
