The instructional project—which was illustrated by Katie Scott, animated by James Paulley, and directed by Azuma Makoto—depicts the interconnected networks within an ecosystem, like the organisms underground fertilizing the soil or a bumblebee landing atop and pollinating a pistil. Each stage of the germination process is shot with an enlarged view to magnify roots stretching out, sprouts poking through the ground, and flowers opening up to bloom. As rain falls, the petals drop and plants release their seeds, which then are embedded into the soil, beginning the cycle once again. Head to Instagram to check out more work from Scott, Paulley, and Makoto.

The poet Elizabeth Bishop believed that everyone should experience at least one prolonged period of solitude in life. For in true solitude, as Wendell Berry so memorably observed, “one’s inner voices become audible [and] in consequence, one responds more clearly to other lives” — an intuitive understanding of what psychologists have since found: that “fertile solitude” is the basic unit of a full and contented life.
Alone one is never lonely: the spirit
adventures, waking
In a quiet garden, in a cool house, abiding single there;
The spirit adventures in sleep, the sweet thirst-slaking
When only the moon’s reflection touches the wild hair.
There is no place more intimate than the spirit alone:
It finds a lovely certainty Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1888941822541276734.post-19457563109197942842018-08-19T06:54:00.000-07:002018-08-19T06:57:00.204-07:00 A Deep Red Cherry Burgundy Colored Tiny Sunflower & Some Peppers Picked In The Garden

I adore this little sunflower I grew.
It is approximately 1inch across
and is a deep cherry burgundy color.
It is the sweetest little thing.
Peppers, all sweet, from the garden
\just right for stuffing.
