How happy is the little stone
That rambles in the road alone,
And doesn’t care about careers,
And exigencies never fears;
Whose coat of elemental brown
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun,
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute decree
In casual simplicity.
— Emily Dickinson

I love the light and the muted colors and the texture of this picture!
Thanks! I’ve been playing with my iPhone camera and am (pleasantly) shocked at how divinely it captures color and light and texture!
That’s a very good iPhone pic!
It’s funny – I can’t really “see” them in the woods (sometimes I don’t wear my glasses). So it’s always fun to come home and see what I’ve captured. This one was a special treat!
That’s a really extraordinary photo, Jen.
I never saw that Emily Dickinson poem before, and it’s another revelation.
She has some hidden gems, right? Always a surprise!
