straight out of the camera

there are times - when i just can’t help myself - i look at a photo i’ve taken - and i think it needs to be tweaked - fussed over, made more perfect - why? - when the reality is - it’s really quite fine - just the way it is - especially if i’m dealing with nature - i mean how can i make - nature more perfect than it already is?

so even though i felt that familiar urge - with this tiny yellow marigold - i fought it off - knowing in the end - leaving it alone - simple and pure, was the very best - choice i could ever make - trusting my instinct - veering outside the lines - it truly can lead to...

a

happy day.....
